I absolutely love Crump park and the adjacent Meadow Farm -- there are two playgrounds which are pretty much side by side -- there's so many innovative and creative playthings for the kids and it's all so colorful and fun --
The only problem with this park is a lack of swings, there are only 4 and I have 3 kids! It's hard to wait that long for swings! Luckily my little girls are generally pretty happy on everything else anyway so it's no great loss.

Maymount Park is the best park in the area. It is huge with lots of open space just to play frisbee or have a picnic. The indoor center with the fish is excellent. The petting zoo is fun for kids. They have many animals. Plus it is free. The parking is limited, but otherwise it is great.

Looking for something entertaining for your 2 - 7 year old? The Richmond Children's Museum is a wonderful place to start. The museum has many interactive exhibits, such as a mouth children can walk into to demonstrate the digestive process. Beware of obscenely funny sounds! There is a grocery store and apple orchard in which kids can role play. There is a tree house and cave children can climb around. There is a large room dedicated exclusively to crafts. Periodically temporary exhibits are featured, such as dinosaurs. There is also a play area for younger children with a gate. It can become over crowded with older siblings at times.
This is a great place to host a birthday party. We had our older daughter's 3rd birthday party there last year with great success. The museum buddy assigned just for your party keeps things moving - and that's important for preschoolers! I forgot the candles for the cake and the hostess even had spare ones!
Weekends can be a bit cramped, but weekday mornings are usually not too bad - look out for the occasional school group.
Also, look for coupons for one free child's admission with the purchase of an adult admission on the box of Ukrop's brand cereals!

We have been to Lewis Ginter twice for the Christmas displays, and we loved it so much that we bought a year long membership. The gardens are gorgeous in all seasons, and membership gives you the benefits of classes, trips, and access to special events. The gift shop has a lot of great gardening and gift ideas.
There are also a lot of great facilities to hold weddings and receptions, although a little pricy!

We use Rockwood Park mostly for the biking and hiking trails. They have mountain biking trails that far exceed what we expected to find in there. The playground areas are fun for kids, and I have always found the park to be very clean and well kept.
It's convenient location at Hull Street and Courthouse Road mkes it easy to get to from all areas of Chesterfield County. It's a great park- bigger and better than many of the others nearby!

This minor league baseball team is a great family outing. The area businesses often offer coupons and discounts and the prices aren't bad anyway. The kids love seeing the mascot running around and you can even have a birthday party there. The food is pricey and there are lots of signs saying not to bring outside food with you. (but plenty of people had food with them) We enjoyed the game and it wasn't too crowded.

Belle Isle is a beautiful park to go to. It is the last thing you would expect to find in the middle of the city of Richmond. You walk across a pedestrian bridge and can follow a trail all the way around the island. Along the way you can stop and hang out on the rocks along the James River, pack a picnic lunch, bring your dog (on a leash, of course!), and maybe even take a swim in the river if the water isn't too high. There are also some bike trails, although I have never used them personally.
It can be a little crowded on a summer weekend, but it is a beautiful (and free!) way to spend a day!

More
as with any other sporting store you have to be there at the right time to get the specials, pricing is high most of the time but they have ANYTHING for ANY SPORT & if they don't they can order for ya! I would rather order from them online as they often have great codes to use, but if you are a B&M shopper for sports equipment this is the place to be!
PROS: great selection
CONS: pricey
