Chesterfield County is the perfect place to live and work,
as evidenced by American City Business Journals' ranking in May 2004 as
the "17th Best Place to Live in America." But, did you know it's also a
great place to play?
There are more than 30 public parks here featuring nearly 3,000 acres
of green space, an abundance of historical landmarks and several sports
complexes that include playing fields. Pocahontas State Park also is
located in the county. |

Chesterfield's central location on the eastern seaboard also places it
within a one-day drive of 50 percent of the U.S. population. It's just two
hours from Virginia Beach, the Blue Ridge Parkway and Washington, D.C.;
Colonial Williamsburg is just an hour away, as are Kings Dominion and
Busch Gardens theme parks.
The Chesterfield County Department of Parks and Recreation offers a
steady array of athletic and sporting events, outdoor adventures,
therapeutic recreation, special programs for senior adults, teens,
families and persons with disabilities, historical tours and annual
cultural events and holiday festivities. For more information, call (804)
