Southpark Mall is a shopping mall serving the Tri-Cities, Virginia area, which itself is part of the much larger Richmond-Petersburg metropolitan area.

It contains 76 stores and is anchored by Dick's Sporting Goods, Macy's, J.C. Penney, Sears, and Regal Cinemas. The mall is accessible from I-95 (Temple Avenue Exit 54 and Southpark Boulevard Exit 53) exits. The mall serves the Tri-Cities, Virginia area of the Greater Richmond Region. Southpark Mall stands at approximately 800,000 square feet (74,000 m2).

During the 1980s, the Tri-cities area was undergoing a great deal of transportation change as the entire Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike's I-85 and I-95 portions became toll-free between 1986 and 1992,Temple Avenue connector between Colonial Heights and Hopewell was being built in 1987, and I-295 was slowly being extended south from Richmond to just south of Petersburg (In 1992, I-295 was completed from VA 10 down to I-95).

The Thalhimer's store became Hecht's in 1992, and then Macy's on September 9, 2006.

On July 11, 2008, the mall opened its new Regal Cinemas Stadium 16 theater. The facility covers 68,000 square feet (6,300 m2) and includes approximately 3,100 seats. The old 8-screen theater in the food court area has converted into an extended food court.

Dillard's closed in 2012. The store was originally Leggett and later Belk. The same year, renovations began on converting it to Dick's Sporting Goods and small shop space.
