Central Chester
Dogs love going for walks, and for good reason: Walks help them get in their daily exercise and let them explore places they might otherwise not get to experience. If your dog enjoys a good walk, take him over to Chester Linear Park. This short trail, which is less than one mile long, allows you and your dog to explore nature while surrounded by the forest. Fido needs to be on a leash at all times, and you’ll want to bring along some water for the both of you and some waste disposal bags in case nature calls!

Church Hill
About twenty-five minutes north of Chester is Richmond’s Church Hill neighborhood, and if your dog loves playing with other four-legged friends, make sure to take him to Church Hill Dog Park at Chimborazo Park. This fenced-in, off-leash dog park has plenty of room for your energetic dog to run around while making new fur-iends. There are also three separate “cool down” stations in case your dog gets too hot on a sunny day! Water is provided for your pup. You’ll want to bring your own waste disposal bags, as none are provided.

Carillon
Seventeen miles from Chester is Richmond’s Byrd Park, which is home to Barker Field at Byrd Park! This dog park is popular for its large size, meaning there’s plenty of room for even the most hyperactive dogs to burn off any excess energy. This bark park includes benches for dog parents and plenty of shade for both you and your pooch, and it also supplies water for the dogs during the hottest parts of the year. You’ll want to bring your own during the cooler months, though. This is an off-leash dog park.

Dorey Park - Henrico
Located about twenty minutes northeast of Chester is Henrico’s Dorey Park, where you’ll find what locals say is a hidden gem: Dorey Dog Park! Although this dog park is only one acre, it never seems to be too busy. This off-leash dog park has two separate areas, one for small dogs and another for large dogs. There are plenty of benches and picnic tables for pup parents, and the park also provides a lot of shade, which is nice on sunny days. You’ll want to bring along your own water and waste disposal bags, though.
Pocahontas State Park
If you and your dog both enjoy exploring nature, head to Pocahontas State Park, which is only about ten miles east of Chester. If you and your dog want to go for a walk, you have plenty of options here: There are over sixty-four miles of trails that run throughout the park, allowing you to choose the best option for you and your pooch. Pack a picnic lunch for the both of you; there are a few different picnic shelters around the park. Fido will need to stay on his leash at all times, no exceptions. Make sure to bring waste disposal bags and plenty of water!
