"It’s named after the erstwhile Scuffletown Road (now Park Avenue), which ran past a tavern in which Benedict Arnold got into a kerfuffle with local militia. But that gritty history was left in the 18th century—these days the Scuffletown pocket park provides a hidden break from the Fan bustle. With a close proximity to 8 1/2 and other Strawberry Street mainstays, a lush, shady setting, and ample seating, Scuffletown Park is a natural magnet for impromptu concerts, gardeners, revelers, and even a local tortoise that can be found sunning itself from time to time. Bonus: Dog-free grass patches make great picnic spots." - Mobelux

The smallest park in Richmond gives the impression of being a green oasis in the middle of the city. The tall buildings that surround it block out the traffic noise of the too many cars in Richmond, and you get the feeling of being in an oasis in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. I really like reading there early in the morning when it's still a deserted place! In the evening, it becomes a meeting place for many groups and is a cuddle paradise for lovers ❤️, before serving as an excursion destination for 🍃 lovers, guitarists, hackey sack players, dog owners and many more in the afternoon. Culturally, I think it's one of the most important places in Richmond.

peaceful queer + punk populated park. every single time I have visited, I have left with one more friend than I had before. everyone is very friendly and I really feel like it is the heart of the community here in the fan. truly a pleasant and open-minded place.

One of the coolest places in RVA. As ironic as this is scuffletown is the place to come, unplug, and just enjoy where you are. The coolest mix of people. A local market near by for snacks and an ice cream shop around the corner. Don’t be a jerk so please clean up after yourself. One of the few inner city places were you feel like you’ve truly gotten away!

This place has got such a feel of life to it, and I love it. These pocket parks really keep The Fan alive and well, and this one might be my favorite. This one even sports a small community garden, making it all the better.

Great little urban park to enjoy friends, a snack, or the gardens. Be respectful of nearby neighbors. I lived down in this neighborhood before the park existed, so I appreciate the treasure it is. Take care of it.

Beautiful pocket park in the Fan. Just heard music on a Tuesday night, which was the last for the event's organizer, Patrick. But others will keep performing. Great place to do yoga, read, eat ice cream from Scoop on Strawberry St. In a lovely garden you can admire, my friend grows herbs and edible flowers, along with figs from her yard tree. The group garden is not a free come-pick- garden, however. The planters pay a city fee and put in lots of work in to feed themselves from their plots. The pollinating butterflies and bees are cool to watch on flowers.

This place is a little oasis in the middle of the fan neighborhood. A good place to gather with friends and enjoy a conversation or an ice cream from the store on Strawberry st. It has a community garden. And is always a good excuse to stop and enjoy the sun.
