Finsler metrics of quadratic curvatures form a rich and important class of metrics. In this paper, we study spherically symmetric metrics of quadratic curvatures. We find equations that characterize R-quadratic spherically symmetric Finsler metrics. In addition, we find the necessary and sufficient conditions for the metrics to be W-quadratic and Ricci-quadratic types.
