Chiawana park always delivers a little bit of something for everyone ~ walking paths, boat launch, and playground action. And an open field for kicking balls.

As part of post-Wedding family activities, my Brother-In-Law took us out on a boat for a tour of the Columbia River. Both trips started at ended at the Chiawana Park Boat Dock. And it was a great day to be out on the water. I was on the first Adults Only trip that included a stop at Ice Harbor Brewery (on Clover Island) for Lunch and a chance to take a short swim in the middle of the stream. I jumped at the later opportunity as the water was cold, clear, and refreshing! In between was nice views of the Blue and Cable Bridges and the Moore Mansion where Gayle's Niece was married the day before. The second trip involved the Kids and that turned out to be a series of inner tube rides. When he returned, my excited son told me that it was his best time ever!

Upon closer examination of the sign, a sticker had been placed over the rest of the age limit. WHAT? Get my hopes up. And as a law abiding Yelper, I quickly read the Yelp reviews and tips and saw that another Yelper had posted the 5-12 age limit for the playground, back in 2011. Does that still count? Well, not much else here. Maybe that sticker was placed over the sign for a reason.

It has a children's play area, a soccer field with goals, a few picnic tables, a few trees and lots of parking spaces. Unfortunately, that's all it has to offer. I am sure that it serves its purpose as a neighborhood park, but it is not a destination park.

The Riverfront Trail goes along the Columbia River with amazing views of the scenery and is well-maintained. We walked part of the Riverfront Trail in the downtown Richland area and I can't say anything bad about it. The trail was well paved as people could walk, bike or rollerblade due to its flat and smooth surface. Many people use this trail and along it, were benches and trash bins. I recommend walking along the Riverfront Trail when you're in Richland as it gets you up close to the Columbia River and depending on where you are, you could even stop in and swim or dock off from it on an American West cruise ship. A space where you can walk and get fresh air is needed in all communities and this is an exceptional one in Richland.

With the recently paved sections added to the Bradley Landing section, the trail now spans four miles from Leslie Groves Park to Columbia Point. It's a flat and wide trail that meanders through a variety of extremely palatable scenery along the Columbia River. Mucho gusto! However, I do have a question. Milfoil is the bane of Green Lake and Lake Washington. But on the Columbia River, it's dead tumbleweeds. They collect in huge mounds around boat docks and in the river's nooks and crannies. Which agency, if any, is responsible for tumbleweed cleanup? Would it be the City of Richland, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or the State of Washington?

I would plan on about 45 minutes to an hour total to give you time to get up, enjoy the view and head down. As a kid we called this the, "hike to the cross" because of the metal cross at the top.

At the park they have playground equipment with swings, slides and monkey bars. There is also a gazebo and horse shoe pits.

There's a sandy mountain to climb, there's shade, there's sports, and there's lovely concerts! Ah the concerts. Flat Top Park is home to some of the local talent here.

These shows are a gem of West Richland and this park seems to have some of the most wonderful events that are not going to be too crowded! The evening shows are great for a picnic! For a schedule, check out this link: http://www.westrichland.org/ConcertSeries.cfm Hogs & Dogs seems to be a popular event, it is a motorcycle show hosted nearby at the Bombing Range Sports Complex. I'm not into motorcycles but it is consistently well-attended Oops, I forgot about the rest of the park! There's this big sandy mountain behind the park that offers a pretty good view of the Tri-Cities area. Sledding? This is the best steep spot in the Tri-City area, it's not for the faint of heart and I swear I almost broke my neck when I got too bold one snowy day. But seriously, it's the best! The rest of the park is very nice, but these are the exceptional points. Sledding and shows, and hiking! Don't miss this friendly spot.

What I also liked is how close it is to restaurants and coffee spots--just a quick 5-10 minute walk if you want to grab food or drinks. Overall, it's a really nice park with something for everyone.

It's no surprise that during our time here, Howard Amon Park served as a gathering space for all the locals. We visited Howard Amon Park a few times as it's located along the Columbia River Trail with many different amenities here for multiple activities. There are many playgrounds, a small wading area for kids, water fountains, bathrooms, dog poop bags, benches, BBQ grills, and the best part - swimming docks. On those sunny days, Howard Amon Park is a great place to hang out in and cool down with a swim in the Columbia River. Howard Amon Park is located in the downtown area of Richland, walking distance to many businesses and lodging options. It's easy to find, with parking available as well as street parking that's easy to find. For some outdoor space that's in Richland, this is where to recreate.
