You won't find anything like our Tarrington Riverfront Park anywhere else in Midlothian.
Watersports right in your neighborhood. Fish with the kids, or get some exercise on that shiny new stand-up paddleboard. Our brand new multi-level dock brings you right down to the water's edge.
Our park is dotted with towering American Sycamores and healthy stands of Black Ash. Guess the height of the tallest Sycamore and win a prize!
Our network of trails has expanded this spring, and continues to grow as we work towards realizing the Park's full potential. Take a stroll down the gravelled paths, or get off the beaten trail and go explore!
You'll see everything from a family of whitetail deer or a box turtle to great blue herons, bald eagles and the occasional snake. And that's just above the surface -- wet a line in search of a smallmouth bass or a blue or channel catfish.
Call in the kids with the smell of hot dogs and hamburgers cooked on the brand new charcoal grills, and sit and relax on the two spacious Trex decks overlooking the scenic James.
Our Riverfront Park is managed and maintained by community volunteers, and we'd love your help! Want to clear a new trail? Have a great idea on how we can develop the park? Please reach out!
We know, this is the boring part of the site. But without rules there is chaos.
Find below everything you need to know to help keep our Park running smoothly.

The Riverfront Park policy on small craft storage allows for a single storage berth per household, and allows for more than one craft per berth, within reason.
Claim any available, non-registered berth. We suggest locking your boat to the rack with a sturdy, weather-proof cable and combination lock (think: no key to lose in the water!).
Property tags are provided on or near the boat storage racks. Ensure your information is in a visible location so that your neighbors can contact you quickly in case of damage.
You'll need it below. (Hope you get your favorite number!)
Fill out the form below, leaving the Berth Number field blank, and we'll let you know when a berth becomes available.
Complete the form below to register your berth with the Park committee. This site works well on mobile, so do it right from the Park before you forget!
Please note that it is Riverfront Park policy to remove boats that are stored and unused for a long period of time.
If a boat is determined to be abandoned and the committee is unable to contact you, your craft will be removed and may be left unsecured.
The committee, Park or neighborhood association will not be held liable for the loss of unsecured craft.
We've iterated over a number of plans for the Riverfront Park, and we think the latest is the best yet.
We'll keep this section up-to-date with the latest plans and proposals for the use and development of the Park, as well as ongoing and completed projects.
As neighbors, we'd love you to get involved with the planning process and to help shape the future of our most unique neighborhood amenity.
