Confirmed from Richland Township Community Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Playground and splash-pad combo for kids 2-12, featuring climbing areas and a spray park.
What runners say about Richland Township Community Park
“Picnic tables, baseball fields, jogging/walking paths, ample parking space, pretty well maintained.”
“It has this beautiful nice size pavilion with picnic tables underneath, with changing room/bathroom facilities and concessions.”
“There is a covered and shaded area, bathrooms, a walking path, and many many playground features.”
Really great spray park. Our favorite so far! The playground and splash pad are all in one spot so as a parent I'm happy I can sit down and have all my kids in view rather than running to one side if the playground while the other is at the spray area..aka like deer lakes (although nice too).
Nice playground with splash pad in summer. Picnic tables, baseball fields, jogging/walking paths, ample parking space, pretty well maintained. Cons: in spring and summer some areas get ongoing stench from dog pee. Often enough winds generously spread that smell everywhere.
This park is so fun for our littles! New splash pad is amazing to offer the kids a place to make friends and cool off. Snack stand has decent hours and the park itself is beautiful. Only negatives are the parking during baseball season and that the splash pad floor is cement.
This is such an amazing park with great features and accommodations! There is a covered and shaded area, bathrooms, a walking path, and many many playground features. They have several non-traditional options, such as an area with musical instruments.
