About

Glen Miller Park Shelters

Glen Miller is the most popular and largest of Richmond's parks. It spans 194 acres. The park is located on Richmond's east side, at 2200 East Main Street. Glen Miller Park is also home to the Parks Administrative Office, which is positioned next to the playground.

Glen Miller Park has a rich history and much to offer. A few of the parks amenities include a pond, fishing, a golf course, a rose garden, picnic areas, an extensive playground, a splash pad, tennis courts, and more. For an exhaustive list of the park’s amenities and more information, visit the Glen Miller Park page.

Charles House

The Charles House is located next to the Rose Garden and the National Road entry to the park. The house has beautiful interior colors, patterns, and woodwork, giving it a comforting and historic feel. It features a fridge, stove top, and sink in the kitchen area, but it lacks an oven. It also has its own parking, driveway, and yard. Included in the rental is access to tables and chairs for guests. With its beautiful view of the Rose Garden, the Charles House would be a great location for your next gathering or celebration!

Mac’s Shack

Mac’s Shack has seen recent improvements, making it an even more desirable location for your next event. It’s only a short walk from Roosevelt Hill and is just off the main road. The shack features a newly installed deck and ramp, beautifully manicured flower beds and landscaping, A/C, and a full kitchen — including a fridge, stove, sink, and counterspace.

Richmond Parks and Rec hopes to install at least one bathroom in the interior of the shack in the near future, but for now, the men’s and women’s restrooms are both located on the exterior of the shack.

Mac’s Shack offers tables and chairs for your use. Outside, there are a few picnic tables and a grill. There is also parking, which is great for gatherings. The shack has a cozy cabin feel with great natural lighting. We think Mac’s Shack is the perfect place for your next event!
