Richland Parks and Recreation

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 rec

reation 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.
