Chesterfield County - Parks and Recreation

"We just played pickle ball on the Huguenot Courts!!! Beautifully done Chesterfield County!!! Thank you, thank you!!"

"I received no help when I called in to speak to someone about my online account saying that even though it was registered, it was not activated. She told me that I just had to call in to inquire about programs which is counterproductive since she seemed like she’d rather be doing other things besides taking the phone call. Also, while I had her on the phone I inquired about summer camp openings left since we just moved here and she asked me what camp. I told her the specific one that I seen in the program guide to which she said all of them were full. Okay no worries until she said that’s why she asked what type of camp because they have all kinds including horseback but she didn’t think I would be interested in that. Now I’m curious why Sheryl would think I wouldn’t be interested in horseback riding? Assumptions because of my race maybe? First impression, not a good one. I wonder if people in government positions actually have customer service experience at all."

"We are so lucky to have so many great parks in Chesterfield County. There’s a huge number of activities and classes for all ages. And the staff are doing a great job of making activities safe during the pandemic."

"Love it here, they have multiple baseball fields, 6 basketball courts, 2 racketball courts, and 3 tennis courts"

"My wife and I took the Introduction to White Water Kayaking class with Chesterfield Parks and Rec and loved it. Greg Velzy and his team provided great instruction, made the experience fun, and introduced us to an incredible new way to enjoy the river. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in outdoor activities in general, and especially to those interested in getting out on the river. You can start the first day with exactly zero experience and by the end of day two, you will have confidently paddled down a section of the James. There are tons of other classes available, as well. We look forward to taking more white water classes, but there is a huge array of activities available through the park system. Take advantage of this great resource!"
