James River Park System, Municipal park system along James River in Richmond, US.
The James River Park System extends over 600 acres through Richmond, featuring a network of trails, woodlands, wetlands, and riverfront areas.
The park system originated in 1972 when Charles Joseph Schaefer donated 380 acres of riverfront property to create outdoor recreation spaces.
The park system serves as an educational center where visitors learn about local ecology through organized programs and interpretive displays.
Multiple entry points and parking areas provide access to different sections, including Huguenot Flatwater, Pony Pasture Rapids, and Belle Isle.
Park maintenance includes the use of goats to remove invasive plant species from the trails and natural areas.
