Richland Washington real estate buyers often place a high premium on having an abundance of options for recreation. It should come as no surprise, then, that there is a wealth of park options in Richland, providing loads of open, natural spaces. There are dozens of parks in the area, offering sports facilities, playgrounds, picnic areas and trails, all aimed at providing Richland home owners a chance to spend time in natural surroundings, and giving people a safe, clean place to spend their time.
Classification-Tiers
Parks in Richland are classified on a tier system, which determines the level of maintenance and upkeep that are performed. Tier 1 covers large facilities, or those that involve high levels of public service. Included in this tier are municipal properties such as City Hall, police and fire stations, Development and Permit Services Building, the library, and more. Parks in the Tier 1 category are: Howard Amon, Columbia Point, John Dam, Leslie Groves and Badger Mountain. Columbia Play field, Columbia Park West, George Prout Pool, ORV Park and the Horn Rapids Athletic Complex are park additions also available in Tier 1. Because of the high usage of these areas, maintenance and upkeep levels are high, keeping them in peak condition despite the heavy amounts of traffic they see.
Tier 2 covers parks that see a medium amount of traffic, or parks that can raise funding for maintenance through fees by users. City buildings of a temporary nature, or that don’t see as much traffic as the higher-profile buildings, also fall into this classification. Maintenance of Tier 2 parks focuses more on public safety than aesthetics, though regular aesthetic maintenance is still a priority.
Tier 3 covers facilities falling into one or more of three categories: facilities with low capital investments, used by relatively few people, or can be serviced by volunteers, such as residents who use them. Mini-parks would fall under this category, as well as smaller, undeveloped parks.
Types of Parks
There are several types of parks in Richland Washington. These are usually small, conveniently located to surrounding neighborhoods, and feature facilities like playground equipment and basic sports facilities, such as basketball courts. Neighborhood parks are usually a bit larger, featuring more sports facilities, and are frequently used for community athletics. Community parks, such as Badger Mountain Park and Trailhead Park, offer walking trails, picnic facilities, and feature natural, undeveloped spaces for conservation. Regional parks include Howard Amon Park and Leslie Groves Park. There are swimming areas available at these parks, plus an abundance of facilities for sports, recreation or just enjoying nature.
Facilities
There are many special use facilities, such as Columbia Park West, the George Prout Aquatic Complex, Columbia Point Golf Course and more. These are often dedicated to specific activities, or host special events.
In addition, there are natural, undeveloped spaces available, giving residents a chance to truly enjoy nature. These areas offer fishing opportunities, as well as a chance to enjoy the flora and fauna of the Richland area.
It’s clear that Richland places a high premium on natural, open areas, and providing Richland home owners with quality recreation. It’s this dedication to nature and conservation that helps makes Richland, such a popular choice with home buyers and sellers.
