Belle Isle Park encompasses 985 acres of river, natural beauty, and manmade structures that form a great place to get some fresh air with or without your pets.

Wetting their paws in the James River is a bit of fun your dog can have without you, assuming your shoes aren’t waterproof enough for submersion.

Enjoy sitting at the James Scott Fountain, visiting the Livingstone Memorial Lighthouse, and more. There’s a lot to do here, and most of it can be done with your furry companion at your side.

Depending on the time of day, you can watch the sunset and enjoy the last bit of daylight with your buddy. Fresh air is good for everyone, including your pups.

Make sure to always clean up after yourself and your dog, and keep your pets leashed at all times inside the park.
