Bandy Field Nature Park

"Coming from someone with a reactive dog, please leash your dogs people!! This is a great park that everyone should be able to enjoy without the worry of being rushed by a dog. Today I witnessed woman’s lab run and jump onto a couple that was sitting on the grass and wouldn’t stop after being called. There’s a reason there are signs everywhere saying this and it is ignorant to ignore them. Unfortunately, I won’t get to return here because the unpredictability of whether my dog will be rushed is too much. Please respect public spaces."

"There is a slim chance of being able to get into the park to enjoy it. There are a total of 3 parking spaces and parking in nearby neighborhoods runs you the risk of getting towed."

"Great park to walk and enjoy life. However if you have a dog that’s reactive, don’t go. Every dog owner ignored leash required signs and every field had a dog running loose after a ball. I sure every owner had complete control but I didn’t want to risk it as my dog is skittish as he was attacked once. So no worries on our part since I now know the locals use this field as an exercise spot for their dogs. We’ll go somewhere else. Without my dog I’d go for a great walk. Nice foot trail around the whole park."

"Truly an amazingly lovely place. The trail is well maintained, the fields are cut, and the signage is amazing. It's surprising how much is really going on here when you read the sign at the entrance. Somebody on the north side of the park for people to take, which thanks to them for that. My only complaint is that there are realistically only two parking spots and backing out is terrifying because there's barely enough room to back up without backing into traffic."

"Nice little Park situated right in the Richmond area. There are 3 very large fields, where you can play or let your kids run around. While there I saw a few people walking their dogs and letting them run around...with leashes still attached... There is a wooded are in the middle with a few trails that can walk through. Looks like the county keeps it pretty well kept, numerous trees have been cut and placed as if sitting spot. Some of the trails around the fields have wood chip mulch that makes them look much nicer. There is a little wetland area a d looks like a newly constructed Bridge over which Maybe a Creak when it rains. They were few bird houses and lots of them flying around I even saw two Hawks flying through the woods. I'm sure in the spring and summer it's much more Scenic here and fills in very nicely. There is a little parking spot right off of Three Chopt Road, that could probably fit three maybe four small cars. Not sure if there's a larger parking lot anywhere it does seem most of the people are in walking distance that were here. It looks from the trails people do a lot of bike in here as well. If you're looking for a good place to walk around taking a little bit of scenery and get some fresh air I think this would be a very convenient spot."
