West Richland Wa Real Estate ~ Parks & Recreation

 

The City of West Richland, Wa is a unique discovery for the budding family, come and see for yourselves. Recreational areas are important for any community, but especially for one in which children make up a large percentage of the population. Wide open spaces are a must, but so too are parklands, bike paths, walking trails and covered play areas.

 

With over 30 acres of playgrounds and parks the West Richland Wa Real Estate area is aligning with a strategy developed by the City to develop neighborhood parks throughout residential areas, whilst at the same time planning, constructing and maintaining larger community park areas.

 

To show their commitment to providing high quality parks and recreational facilities for families in the area, a Park Board has been established (circa 1972) to guide City Council decision making in the management and beautification of these community spaces. Ultimately it will remain the responsibility of the City Council to approve funding for parks and playgrounds in the West Richland Wa Real Estate area.

 

The Park Board is comprised of 5 residents, a Chairperson and a Vice-Chairperson. The Board meets on the last Tuesday of each month at the West Richland Wa Real Estate Library. The public are welcome to attend all meetings.  Visit West Richland Wa Real Estate Today!

Sacagawea Heritage Trail

The Sacagawea Heritage Trail Project aims to create a leisure and education trail that spans the twenty-two miles of the Columbia River, including that of the Richland Wa Real Estate area. The Project trail is a dedication to the solitary woman who aided the Lewis and Clark expedition. The trail will be bi-modal, in that pedestrians and cyclists can share its use. The amenities will be user friendly for able and disabled visitors and is expected to be completely environmentally friendly. It is anticipated that the trail will encourage visitors to learn more about, and to appreciate, the past experiences of the Corps of Discovery in the Mid-Columbia region.

It is hoped that the Heritage Trail will link pedestrians and cyclists with the rest of the Tri-City area. The network of loops will be non-motorized and will take in the river fronts and natural wonderland of the Tri-Cities area of which Richland Real Estate region is a part. The Class I multi-purpose trails and sidewalks, with Class II and III cycle routes (lanes and signage respectively) are monitored for continuous improvement.

The trail winds through parklands, along levees and streets. Richland City Council, as other Tri-City Councils are doing, maintains work on individual portions of the trail as well as maintaining waterfront development.
