Located just outside of the popular Maymont park, the historic Byrd Park neighborhood is a haven for anyone who loves to be outdoors. With three lakes—Shields, Swan, and Boat—and plenty of space for walking, running, and sunbathing, Byrd Park is a buzzing community full of young professionals, families, and dogs—lots of dogs! Byrd Park is also home to the Dogwood Dell Amphitheater and Ha’Penny Stage, two venues that host the popular summer-long Festival of the Arts among other events.
