 About
Us
An organization of City and County residents
joined in a common cause. Friends of Bandy Field was formed by
City of Richmond and County of Henrico residents who joined together
to preserve Bandy Field as an undeveloped green space for passive
recreation. Bandy
Field Nature Park has now been established as an official Richmond
City Park , but our efforts to preserve and enhance the nature
park continue.

History
The history of Bandy Field and the surrounding area is quite interesting.
Bandy Field and its immediate surrounding area form the highest
geographical point in all of Richmond and serve as a watershed.
The water to the east flows into the Chicahominy River, to the
west into the James.
Even though it seems impossible to find precise information about
the eighteen acres constituting Bandy Field, we know that the
history of this area reaches back into colonial times.

 Visit
Bandy Field offers an easily accessible
area for nature and ecological study and enjoyment, so rare in
an otherwise densely developed city/suburban setting.
Look for the display sign at the parking area on Three Chopt for
information about the park and habitats, including plants and
wildlife that may be found there. Bring your binoculars and look
for some of the birds that may be found at the park. Walk or run
on the trail around the park. Frisbees and pick-up games are welcome,
too.
