We have more than 40 parks, 19 community centers, historic cemeteries, a golf driving range, a beautiful new cultural arts center, and so much more. At the heart of our park system, is nearly 450 acres of the James River Park System, a nationally known site for white-water rafting, canoeing, kayaking, rappelling, rock climbing and passive entertainment.
