RVA and its surrounding areas have tons of outdoor parks, playgrounds, and play spaces that are perfect for families and kids. I’ve rounded up a list of outdoor spaces and options (by area of town) that are open every day. You can click on many of these to find my review/get more information! This list will continue to grow as we discover more playgrounds and parks around RVA!
I also wanted to note that Trail Kids RVA is a group that offer FREE hikes to many of these locations. It’s a great way to meet other parents & kiddos!
