There's tons of open space for picnics, barbecues, or just hanging out by the water, and areas to play games like volleyball. Kids will love the play area and the nearby Richland Rotary Beach too. 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. I had an awesome time here and definitely want to come back!

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.

I went here strictly to get my cross country ski legs back in order. I carved a large loop around the perimeter and went back and forth along the loop. It was a nice flat workout (although one of the neighbor dogs barked at me every time I passed by). It was dark when I was skiing, but it looks like this place has a playground, basketball court and a pool.

We arrived in a Saturday, September 24, 2022, and were happy to see many families enjoying the outdoors!

Looking forward to spending more time here to exercise, meditate, or picnicking!

In general the park appears quite clean, although the grass is often overgrown and the picnic tables look like they have seen better days. The grass is very green, so while the grass might not be mowed quite often enough, at least they water the grass. There are plenty of trees, which is perfect for some summer reading under the shade!

Such craziness with the ever-changing rules and dealing with everyone's frustration in trying to keep up. You all seemed to handle everything with grace and made sure we were all able to enjoy the pool. I can only imagine the questions you all yielded with the online pool reservation website! However, things eventually smoothed out (your hard work is seen!) and there were days where my family practically had the pool to ourselves. We had a situation where, in wrangling the children into the car, I had dropped all of our pool wristbands somewhere and I was devastated. Someone at the pool had located them, turned them all to Jill in the office, so when I simply mentioned in an email to her that I had lost them, she responded promptly that she had them in her possession! My daughter walked over to her office to gather them and everyone was happy once again. Thank you all for everything you do to keep the pool open and running smoothly! WE LOVE HORN RAPIDS AND THE PEOPLE THEREIN!

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?
