   Next to the James River in Byrd Park is a nice, fenced dog park called Barker Field where you can let your pup off the leash to enjoy some time with other doggies. The place has a lot to offer, including benches, shade, poop baggies, different doggie toys, and plenty of canine company! You should know that the park has water available, but only in-season, so in the colder months, you should bring some with you. The only problem with this park is that it tends to get really crowded on the weekends. However, if your pup is a social butterfly, that might a plus rather than a problem!

   Around 20 miles away from Henrico, you'll find another pawesome (and puntastic!) place that your dog will fall head over paws for: Ruff House Dog Park. This park has two separate areas for large dogs, which are usually rotated for maintenance. There is a separate area for little doggies, too. Several watering stations are available for use, and the ground around them tends to get muddy, so bring a towel! Waste baggies are provided as well so you can clean up after your pup, and there are toys scattered through the park for extra fun! What more could you want?

   Dorey Dog Park is located 21 miles away from Henrico in the small town of Varina. This park isn't the largest in the area -- it's only one acre divided into two sections for dogs of different sizes. The fence is 5 feet high to keep your barking buddy from escaping. It may be small, but this park is pawpular with the locals and welcomes lots of canine visitors, so if you're looking to socialize your dog, this is the perfect place! The park is very well-maintained, so bring waste bags to keep it that way. This grassy park also features picnic tables and benches for the pet parents.
