Residents of Denbigh have access to high-tech entertainment and outdoor fun. Both Tagtime Laser Tag and Surge Adventure Park are in the neighborhood. Nature lovers will want to explore Denbigh Park, nestled among the marshlands and wetlands. Locals can launch a kayak from the boat ramp, explore the Warwick River or follow the small walking trail through the marsh. Anglers will want to bring a rod and reel to the fishing pier. A visit to the Mariner’s Museum means a day of nautical adventure. The maritime museum has over 32,000 artifacts and is home to a life-sized replica of the ironclad warship that revolutionized naval warfare. Nature fans will enjoy strolling on the award-winning Noland Trail, a five-mile footpath offering views of wildlife.A melting pot of markets and menus
Jefferson Avenue has a Trader Joe’s and an Aldi for groceries. The Jefferson Commons shopping center is home to big-name retailers like TJ Maxx, Home Goods and Old Navy. Patrick Henry Mall is less than 3 miles away. For those who don’t want to travel, the community has plenty of local options, including Denbigh & Warwick, a small gift shop with a curated selection of artisan soaps, fragrances and home décor.When hunger strikes, there are plenty of choices. “Denbigh is definitely a melting pot of culinary options,” says Deering. Tres Borrachos, a Mexican restaurant, serves traditional Latin fare in a vibrant setting. The authentic Puerto Rican street food at DeRican Chef brings the taste of the islands to Virginia. A good way to end the day is with a local draft and apps from Craft 60 Taphouse & Grill. Or say good night with a sweet treat from Pasteles De Maria bakery.
Family fun and jazz fests
The Denbigh Day Parade and Festival is held in September at the Courthouse Way Community Center. For 65 years, this family friendly event has included a parade, music, games, train rides, and more. In June, locals look forward to the Hampton Jazz Festival and its accompanying 757 Extravaganza Marketplace where jazz fans and shoppers can listen to great music while exploring the offerings of local artisans and vendors at the Hampton Roads Convention Center.Transportation
