Website:  https://www.richmondheights.org/departments/parks___recreation_cooperative/facilities___parks/parks/index.php

Playground Ground Cover: Astroturf

The park includes two basketball courts, two tennis courts, a playground, restrooms, a pavilion, and a lighted multipurpose soccer/baseball/softball field. This first building houses the restrooms/comfort station/concession stand. The playground was redone in early 2023 with a new astroturf floor. 











The playground is enclosed with a fence which is great if you have a little runner!


The new play structure is very climbable with lots of twisted netting.

Basketball courts are adjacent to the playground and the restrooms are beyond that. Fields are off to the left.

Playground ground cover: Wood chips

The playground was found to be rotting due to flooding so it was ripped out in September 2023. Not sure yet when it will be replaced. 

The playground pictured below is the large playground just off the main parking lot by the lake. The playground is partly shaded and pretty big. There are 2 baby swings, 2 sling swings, a huge climbing structure with lots of slides, and various kinds of ladders and bars. There is a wooden swing, a chain climber, and a bridge as well.










The Arnold Farmer's Market is right at the entrance to the left. 


 The dog park is near the back of the park


 There are 4 large pavilions spread throughout the park.


 The restroom building looks old but it's clean inside.
