Springwood Park

Springwood Park is one of Richmond’s hidden treasures! The park was originally named “Conservation Park” and is located on the northside of Richmond at 60 Waterfall Road. The park spans 104 acres and features a 30-acre lake. Also included at the park is an access point to Cardinal Greenway Trail, diamonds, plenty of nature area, nature trails, picnic areas, a playground, restrooms, two shelters, and volleyball courts.

Thistlethwaite Falls can be found just south of the park. The falls were man-made for milling purposes years ago. The mills no longer exist, but the falls remain. They provide a beautiful backdrop for pictures — as long as you aren’t afraid to get a little wet — and offer a great opportunity for playing and exploring. Learn more about Thistlethwaite Falls by visiting and reading the historical markers on site.
