About the Park
Tucker Park at Maidens Crossing puts a fully fenced dog park inside a larger riverfront park on the James River in Goochland County. Small and large dogs get separate areas, and benches plus a tree canopy give owners shade while dogs run off-leash on the mixed surface. It is free and open daily from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM. The setting is the real appeal: walking trails, a playground, picnic tables, a non-motorized boat ramp, and an outdoor amphitheater mean a dog outing can turn into a half-day by the river. Water access adds a place to cool off in humid Virginia summers. Keep dogs leashed outside the fenced area near the boat ramp and trails, and pack waste bags and drinking water.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Tucker Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
Dogs can enjoy water features here — great for cooling off on hot days. Bring a towel for the car ride home, because your pup will probably get soaked.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Tucker Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
