Maps to Barker Field |
Friends of Barker Field is organizing as a partner group of
Richmond Recreation & Parks Foundation,
organized to cooperate with the city's Department of Works to care for our dog park,
situated in Byrd Park's SouthEast corner.
The city provides some maintenance services thru the Departments of Public Works and of Parks, Recreation & Community Facilities. Barker Field's 4 super cans of bagged dog poop are regularly emptied by a Parks crew, and they occasionally cut the grass around the fences, and take care of ditches and the parking lot. Fences, gates, and everything else to facilitate our dogs' special use of the park is provided by volunteer effort or through contributions to the Friends of Barker Field account with the Rec & Parks Foundation.
