Disc Golf at Gillies Creek Park
The City of Richmond is full of many hidden treasures! One of which happens to be the Gillies
Creek Park system. Located on the City's east side just off of Stoney Run Drive and Williamsburg
Road. Gillies Creek Park has an abundance of activities to offer, some of which are refreshingly
different. Gillies Creek Park sports an 18 hole "Disc Golf Course".
Disc Golf is golf played with a Frisbee-type disc which is hurled through the air into a
chainlink basket to score points. The least amount of putts (throws) it takes a golfer to
land the disc into the basket, the faster they can proceed to the next hole (basket location).
The game takes about an hour to play and covers a distance of about a mile.
River District Canal Cruises
Enjoy 35-minute historically narrated tours or private charters of the James River & Kanawha Canal
along the historic Canal Walk in a covered boat that accommodates up to 38 passengers and departs on
the hour from the Turning Basin between 14th and Dock Streets in downtown Richmond’s River District.
Richmond’s canals began in 1789 after George Washington lobbied the General Assembly to proceed with
his vision of a canal and turnpike system that would connect the harbors of the east to the trade and
market opportunities in the west. Today, you can enjoy the journey through the River District from April
