Midlothian’s mining history has a visible local anchor at Mid-Lothian Mines Park. Chesterfield lists the park at 13301 North Woolridge Road and describes its interpretation of the area’s early coal industry. It is a useful starting point for learning about the community beyond a mailing address.
Start with the park
Check the County’s park page for current access and program information. Leave time to read the interpretation and understand the site’s history. Confirm current trail access and any program requirements before setting out.
Make a realistic local itinerary
If you add a meal or errand, map the specific entrance and allow time between stops. A Midlothian address can cover a wider everyday area than one village outing. Choose a manageable set of destinations instead of assuming everything with that name is within a short walk.
Before choosing a home or project
Use Chesterfield’s parcel and planning tools to investigate the exact property. Keep existing conditions separate from proposed development. For an addition or outdoor project, ask the County which reviews apply to the scope before scheduling work. The home-project and moving guides below organize those questions without assigning one answer to every Midlothian property.
Village walks, mining history and a library stop
Midlothian's village-area parks and library offer distinct starting points for a short outing. Use the actual facility address: Midlothian is also a much broader mailing and market label.
Mid-Lothian Mines Park
13301 North Woolridge Road
The County describes a 44-acre preserve with trails, a pond and mining-history interpretation. Treat it as an outdoor history and walking stop; use current notices before planning a specific route or activity.
Midlothian Village Park
13801 Westfield Road
This smaller six-acre County park lists approximately 0.3 mile of unpaved trails. It is a different destination from the Mines Park; the unpaved surface matters when choosing footwear or planning for mobility needs.
Midlothian Library
100 Millworks Crossing
Use this current library address when navigating or booking a program. Older online references can point to the former Coalfield Road location; choose the branch in the County's current directory and calendar.
Choose between a short unpaved village walk and a longer park visit, then check the library's program time. Keep each stop's parking and entrance separate in your route plan.
Schools and enrollment
Public school division: Chesterfield County Public Schools. Use the full residential address and the relevant school year to check elementary, middle and high school assignments. A nearby school, postal city or neighborhood name does not establish eligibility.
CCPS address-based school lookup · Regional enrollment guide
Use the CCPS address lookup before contacting the assigned school about registration, required documents and transportation. Keep elementary, middle and high school results separate; the closest campus is not necessarily the assigned school.
School contacts to start your research
These are nearby or area-relevant public school contacts, not a list of schools assigned to every home here and not a guaranteed feeder pattern. Confirm the exact address with the division before relying on a school name.
- J. B. Watkins Elementary — 501 Coalfield Road · 804-378-2530
- Midlothian Middle
The state school profile provides a verified Watkins contact, not an attendance-zone determination. Confirm all three school levels with CCPS; this short contact list is not an exhaustive school directory.
Civic information and local services
Local government: Chesterfield County. Start with the exact address to find the responsible council or supervisor district and its current contact information. Civic districts and school attendance boundaries answer different questions. Use the locality’s own meeting, planning and service pages for current decisions.

Supervisors, meeting information and public participation. Read the agenda for the specific meeting and check the public-comment instructions before attending. Neighborhood associations and HOAs are separate from the local government; verify membership boundaries and contacts with the organization.
Before choosing an address
- Confirm the parcel’s locality, service providers and applicable neighborhood or HOA rules.
- Check the actual route to school, work, parks and everyday errands at the times you would travel.
- Use the property records linked below for assessment and zoning research; keep those figures separate from the dated market-value estimate.
Village identity and county government
Chesterfield County is the government contact for the facilities and services in this guide. A Midlothian mailing address does not prove that a property lies in the village area. Look up the parcel and the relevant planning application before relying on a neighborhood label in a sale or rental listing.

Parks, sports and activities
Use Chesterfield County recreation resources to compare programs and facilities, then confirm the venue, registration, age range and current availability with the organizer. A nearby facility is not a guarantee of public access or a place on a team.

Chesterfield library locations and services. Use the branch’s current listing for hours, closure notices, room availability and program registration.
Food, music and an evening out
Choose a meal near the particular village or park destination you are visiting. Check any advertised performance with its organizer and distinguish a dinner reservation from a ticket. A restaurant using Midlothian in its address may be well outside the village outing described here.
