An online article in the Richmond Examiner paid high praise to Byrd Park recently, calling the public green spaces “Richmond’s answer to Central Park.”  The Valentine’s installment of their regular feature, “the Richmond Marriage Examiner,” prescribed regular trips to Byrd Park in order to maintain a happy marriage.  Here is an excerpt:

Byrd Park has been a Richmond family favorite for years. Beautifully landscaped gently rolling terrain, the park features tree-shaded lawns, three man-made lakes, tennis courts, and ball fields to enjoy when warm weather arrives. But after our snowy weekend Byrd Park is the ideal place to go sledding down Reservoir Hill with your spouse. Relive those childhood moments and play together.
