A gorgeous addition to the James River Park System is the Pony Pasture Park. Popular amongst locals and visitors alike, the park is a beloved urban paradise in the city and a great place to enjoy a beach-like atmosphere without actually having to drive to the beach. Soak up some sun while resting on one of the park’s many granite boulders, splash around in the river to cool off, or slide around amongst the rapids when the tide rises. On land, visitors can also utilize more than a mile’s worth of multi-use paths and trails great for walking, running, or biking. It’s not uncommon to see artists creating gorgeous paintings or snapping great photographs either.
