Richland Parks and Recreation We provide premier parks, public facilities, recreational activities and library services for our community.

The Benefits of Parks & Recreation
A strong parks and recreation system is essential for a thriving community. Four out of five North Americans use their local recreation and park system. Seventy percent have a park or recreation facility within walking distance of their home. Our parks are such a stable influence on our lives that we tend not to give them much thought. But effective parks and recreation facilities do not just happen on their own. They require professional care and financial support to keep them clean, safe and suitable for the community they serve. When citizens get involved with their parks and recreation systems, their quality of life improves. Parks and recreation opportunities encourage citizens to be engaged in their communities -- as volunteers, stewards, advocates and students. Investment in parks and recreation facilities should reflect their importance to our communities. Our health, our community, our economy and our environment all benefit from investments in parks and recreation opportunities.

Halloween is almost here, and our neighborhoods will soon be filled with little ghosts, goblins, and superheroes!

A friendly reminder to slow down, stay alert, and watch for trick-or-treaters. A little extra caution can make a big difference in keeping everyone safe.

Check out these important safety reminders from the Richland Police Department, and have a safe and Happy Halloween!

Slow down, little monsters are out!

Halloween is almost here, and our Richland neighborhoods will soon be filled with ghosts, goblins, superheroes, and trick-or-treaters of all ages.

As families head out to enjoy the festivities, we’re asking everyone behind the wheel to take extra care:

đźš— Drive slowly through residential neighborhoods.
đź‘€ Watch for children crossing streets and entering roadways unexpectedly.
🚸 Look carefully at intersections, driveways, and between parked cars.
📵 Put your phone away and stay focused on driving.

Parents and trick-or-treaters: carry flashlights or glow sticks, wear reflective clothing when possible, and use crosswalks whenever available.

Let’s work together to keep our little monsters safe this Halloween!

This weekend, Tapteal Greenway volunteers will be working at Amon Creek Natural Preserve to restore areas where vegetation has been trampled or disturbed outside the established trails.

Following the planting, the City will install temporary fencing and signage to protect these areas while the new vegetation takes root and the natural habitat recovers.

Visiting the preserve? Please stay on established trails and avoid entering the newly planted areas. Giving these spaces time to recover helps protect the preserve’s natural beauty for everyone to enjoy.

Thank you for helping us care for Richland’s parks and natural spaces!

Exciting progress is underway at West Village Community Park!

Construction has started on the next phase of the park, located near Trowbridge Boulevard and Ava Way in the Badger Mountain South neighborhood.

This phase brings a brand-new playground designed for children of different ages and abilities, with accessible features, sensory play elements, climbing opportunities, slides, swings and other interactive features.

Work this fall includes site preparation, playground equipment and surfacing installation, and minor landscaping improvements. Most construction is expected to be complete by the end of November, weather permitting, with a few custom playground panels scheduled for installation in late December.

We’re excited to see this next piece of West Village Community Park take shape!
