Grab your most comfortable shoes and join our real estate agents for National Take a Walk in the Park Day on March 30! The fresh air, the cool breeze and the sounds of sweet serenity — the RVA is full of fantastic green spaces that will put you in touch with nature.

With so many great parks around the Richmond area, you may be wondering where you should take a celebratory stroll on March 30. Fear not! The Napier ERA team loves any opportunity to soak up some sunshine. We've created this list of our six favorite parks around town that we know are perfect for a relaxing Spring walk.

1. Chimborazo Park & Playground – 3201 E. Broad St., Richmond, VA 23223
   If you're looking for a park that has it all, Chimborazo Park & Playground has something for families and furry friends alike. The park itself is an impressive 30-acres in size which present an amazing view of Richmond. Their newly renovated children's playground one block away has plenty of fun for young children. If your four-legged friend is joining you, the Church Hill Dog Park is on the eastern end of the park and features two sectioned off areas for dogs of all sizes. History buffs will enjoy a stop at the National Battlefield Park headquarters while photo-fiends should definitely snap a shot of the miniature Statue of Liberty.
   
   
2. Hidden Rock Park – 1920 Hidden Rock Lane, Maidens, VA 23102
   Although Hidden Rock Park isn't exactly a secret — it's actually within a quick drive of great Goochland homes for sale — its 60-acre facility leaves plenty to be discovered. There are tons of adult athletic leagues to join throughout the year, but for National Take a Walk in the Park Day, we suggest heading straight for their beautiful nature trails.
   
   
3. Fighting Creek Park – 2505 Mann Rd., Powhatan, VA 23139
   If you've been browsing Powhatan homes for sale and were hoping to find a great place to picnic close by, consider your wish granted! As one of the earliest trails mentioned in Powhatan history, Fighting Creek Park has eight walking trails that will surely work up an appetite. Take a walk in this park then enjoy a nice relaxing picnic as you close out March.
   
   
4. Rockwood Park – 3401 Courthouse Rd., North Chesterfield, VA 23236
   The oldest park in the county, situated near quaint Chesterfield County homes for sale, has over five miles of tree-lined walking trails. After a leisurely walk, be sure to stop by Rockwood Park's nature center to learn more about the wonderful wildlife that calls this popular park home.
    
5. City Park – 205 Appomattox St., Hopewell, VA 23860
   Take a walk along the riverfront at Hopewell's City Park. A generous grant from the American Water Charitable Foundation has provided the park with a nature-inspired play area.

6. Roslyn Landing Park – 265 Charles H Dimmock Pkwy, Colonial Heights, VA 23834
   This historic trail along the Appomattox River offers gorgeous views that will instantly convince you to start looking for Colonial Heights homes for sale. Quiet and peaceful, Roslyn Landing Park is right beside an animal shelter where you can even take one of their dogs for a walk with you. We can't think of a better way to spend National Take a Walk in the Park Day than by making a new furry friend!
