    "There are a lot of places to walk your dogs and for them to play. There are many open spaces and it is nice to be able to change up your route. That and the James River is close for the wall walk and the access to the park system. "

    "Pretty good area for dog walking. Don’t see many dogs around. If so they are well trained. Side walks are a little small but, Having a dog around here never been a problem. There is a lot of stray cats in the area. That could be a problem. "
