MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
Summer is upon us, and with it, the swimming and boating
season. Richland is fortunate to have a number of water-
oriented sites for recreation to cool off from the hot sun and
I hope you’ll explore everything the City has to offer.
This year the City has initiated a campaign to raise awareness
of the danger of swimming in undesignated areas such as boat
launches and docks. Swimmers can safely utilize the sandy
shores of the Leslie Groves Swim Beach, the George Prout
Memorial Pool, Howard Amon Swim Dock, Howard Amon
Wading Pool and the Badger Mountain Splash and Play.
Boaters may launch and dock on the Columbia River at
Columbia Park West, Lee Boulevard Dock in Howard Amon
Park, North Howard Amon Boat Launch, Leslie Groves Boat
Launch and the primitive Duportail Boat Launch on the
Yakima River.
Public safety is our number one priority. The City has
numerous facilities for both boaters and swimmers, and the City will be enforcing swimming rules as posted in
area park rules. The effort is intended to minimize conflicts between boats and swimmers, to create a safe and
enjoyable environment. I hope you’ll join me by swimming and boating only in designated areas.
Have a safe and wonderful summer!
Joe Schiessl
Director of Parks & Public Facilities
Swimming around a designated boat dock is unsafe.* Boaters cannot see swimmers due to wake (waves) and/or swimmers under the water* Inexperienced boaters may not have steering skills to navigate around swimmers safely* Boat docks are held up by concrete pylons which can cause bodily injury to swimmers/divers
Please choose a safe place to cool o� this summer. They’re the safest place to enjoy the water.

When I first moved to Richland two and a half years ago I pulled
myself through a gloomy winter and a blustery spring. As a native of
the Great Lakes region in Ohio, I fared far better than my folks back
east, but I spent much of the first few months here trying to orient
myself to my new career and new home. When summer came
charging into the Columbia Basin I began visiting our parks and I saw
something special. Whether it was a casual conversation on the
Riverfront Trail with another resident, a head-nod from a fellow
cyclist, or even a passerby in Leslie Groves Park returning a rogue
volleyball and then asking enthusiastically if they could join our game,
it was there. People were engaging with each other and interacting in
ways that made me feel like the City of Richland had a “spark” that
was unusual for our day and age. What I am speaking of is Richland’s
rich and vibrant “social capital,” a currency not mentioned frequently,
but nevertheless, very strong. Social capital encompasses our links of
cooperation and friendship, our everyday interactions and bonds, a
push for common goals and the willingness to be a part of a community where there is a sense of belonging to
something larger than what we hold in our own personal lives. Richland is a treasure-trove of these types of
experiences and ultimately is what inspired me to find a way to contribute to the community and join the Parks
and Recreation Commission.
What I have come to learn is that the Richland Parks and Recreation programming is a large factor in the health
of our community’s social capital. This is even more apparent during the endless days of glorious summer
sunshine and weekend after weekend packed full of stellar events and activities utilizing our parks and facilities.
Even more important is the fact that the Parks and Public Facilities staff listens to us and generates content
based on our wishes and wants. That is not to say we should be taking all the credit, far from it. Every single
person on the Staff works tirelessly to keep our Parks looking beautiful and take our inspiration and turn it
into the marvelous ensemble of programming you see in every e-activity guide.
In the end though, we are the stewards of our social capital and therefore are advocates of engagement!
Whether you take the family out to Live @ five to hear some local talent or tag along with community members
on the new Public Art Walk, welcome others to join you. Whether you go on a day-long adventure during our
Geocoin Challenge, or just decide to take a leisurely bike ride on our many trails, do not shy away from the
sometimes random, but nevertheless worthwhile, interactions that reveal themselves to you.
Long at last, summer is here! Soak up the rays, frolic in the parks and maybe find a few activities in the Summer
Activity Guide that peak your interests. But most of all, engage, interact and enjoy!

COMMISSIONER CORNER
Summer is a favorite season. A time of never-ending fun, outdoor
activities and an enhanced enjoyment of life. Summer is the stuff of
dreams. For youth it seems to last forever, and for adults it always
seems too short. Summer makes us happy.
This summer, we invite you to experience all that Richland’s trail
system has to offer... you’ll find that it’s a great way to connect with
places, nature and friends. Discover 29 miles of hard surface trails,
and over 30 miles of soft surface trails, where you can walk, hike,
run, in-line skate or bicycle. Whether you are out for an afternoon
of exercise, or simply enjoying a family outing, the multi-purpose
trails are yours to enjoy!
Trail Etiquette Helps Keep Us Safe…
Remember to always be courteous to fellow trail users.
On trails frequented by in-line skaters, bicyclists, joggers,
walkers, etc., be willing to yield the right-of-way for the
safety of all concerned.
No motorized vehicles of any kind are allowed on trails.
Always keep to the right, pass on the left. Bicyclists, ring
your bell or give an audible signal when passing (ie. “On Your Left!”)
Reduce speed when encountering others and when approaching curves or areas with limited
sight distance.
Pedestrians, please do not block the entire path.
Keep pets leashed and under control; bag and remove pet feces. Be aware of others.
Respect the environment and help keep our beautiful parks litter free.
View a printable 11x17 map of Richland trails, or drop by the Richland Community Center for a copy.
Let’s Get Started…
Summer has arrived, so get out and enjoy yourself! Make your summertime fun and memorable. Enjoy
our beautiful parks and trails, and drop by the Richland Community Center and discover all the wonderful
programs and activities. We’re looking forward to your visit.

MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGER
First Green of Washington Links as Labs
www.thefirstgreen.org
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Carl
Thompson and I’m the Certified Golf Course
Superintendent at Columbia Point Golf Course
here in Richland. I recently joined the First
Green of Washington Links as Labs
program. I’m looking to partner with local
teachers in using Columbia Point as an outdoor
classroom for your STEM curriculum. The First
Green was established to provide and promote
environmental education. They connect
educators with superintendents to host outdoor
‘learning labs’ on their golf courses. This type of
lab allows students to perform hands-on
experiments and tests within the focus of the
school’s environmental science and horticulture curriculum.
The First Green was founded in 1997 in the greater Seattle area. This organization achieved tremendous
popularity and quickly gained the support of national, regional and local groups. Currently there are
programs in Washington, Oregon, California, New Jersey, Florida and British Columbia.
There are a number of different topics you can choose for these learning stations– it all depends on your
specific agenda. I’ve been provided a Resource Kit with additional lesson plans available on the First Green
website. These plans are flexible and easily combined in various ways. Some examples of lesson plans
include:
Measuring irregular areas such as putting green square footage.
Volume Calculations – for instance how much sand is needed to topdress a green to a ¼ inch
depth?
Using a soil sieve device to determine percentages of sand, silt and clay.
Testing water quality and pH.
Call today and I’ll include a fun golf activity for your kids. When the lesson is over they can participate
in a putting contest. Give your kids a field trip they’ll never forget!
Sincerely,
Carl Thompson, CGCS

www.chinookcyclingclub.com
Chinook Cycling Club originated in 1986 for cyclists who enjoy the sporting aspects of cycling, including both
national level competitive cycling and regional recreational competition. Over the years the club has grown,
and the range of interests has expanded with it. However, we still retain our original focus as a club whose
primary activities revolve around the sporting aspects of cycling. Our current membership includes riders
with a wide range of interests and abilities, including some who are members of USA Cycling (formerly United
States Cycling Federation), the national level competitive cycling organization. Club activities include: spring
road training events, spring/summer time trial series, fall mountain bike events, trail maintenance and trail
building. Local groups that Chinook Cycling Club currently support include the Tri-City Bicycle Coalition,
Friends of Badger, and Toys for Tots. Check us out on Facebook and visit us at chinookcyclingclub.com.

The sport of BMX encourages….DISCIPLINE by helping kids focus energy in a positive direction; SELF ESTEEM
by building confidence and teaching kids about setting and reaching goals; PHYSICAL FITNESS by developing
strong minds and bodies.
Bicycle motocross (BMX) is currently the fastest growing youth sport in North America and is the latest
addition to the Olympics. Any bike can be outfitted to suit BMX. This includes the beginner bike with smaller
wheels or the mountain bike with gears. A typical race around a BMX track will last about 50 seconds pitting
a rider against up to 7 other riders. BMX provides low cost family entertainment. The Columbia Basin BMX
track is located about 1/4 mile out of town on Robertson Road, off Highway 240, next to the Horn Rapids
Softball Complex. It is a full service BMX track complete with lights for evening practices and racing.

The Tri-Cities outrigger canoe club was founded in 1998. Club practices are held at Columbia Park West three
days per week on the Columbia River. The club typically attends six to seven short and long distance races
each season. The club currently owns three canoes. The season starts in early April and ends in October.
Outrigger canoes feature a lateral support float known as an outrigger, which is fastened to one or both sides
of the main hull. Unlike a single hulled canoe, an outrigger generates stability as a result of the distance between
its hulls. Compared to other types of canoes, outrigger canoes can be quite fast, yet are also capable of being
of being paddled in rougher water.
Interested in becoming a member of TCOCC? Newcomers are invited to come to our training location and
paddle with us on all regularly scheduled days. Notify the coach and a paddler will meet with you ½ hour prior
to scheduled practice for orientation. We will ask you to fill out a liability waiver, pay a $10.00 fee for temporary
insurance and we will provide you with a paddle, instruction, and a fun day. You are welcome to paddle with
us two or three times before deciding whether to become a member. No experience needed! Must be 18
years of age and know how to swim.

spouse). After the first day, participants may turn in registrations for other community

Richland Resident/Non-Resident Policy
The City of Richland recognizes the primary purpose of Parks and Recreation is to provide
for the recreational needs of Richland residents. People living within Richland’s city limits
support the City’s parks and recreation services through taxes. Consequently, the City
offers residents a discount on selected recreational programs. People residing outside the
city limits are welcomed and encouraged to enjoy City sponsored events and programs at
a non-resident rate.
Refund Policy
Sometimes things don’t go as planned. Richland Parks and Recreation reserves the right to
cancel, reschedule, relocate or combine activities as needed. If Parks and Recreation cancels
an activity, participants will be notified and a full refund will automatically be issued.
Participant initiated refund for classes and activities must be requested at least 3 days prior
to the start date and will not be issued for less than $5. Participant-initiated refunds will be
assessed a $5 processing fee per class/activity for each person involved. Refunds are issued
from the City Finance Office in approximately 14 days. Refunds for VISA and MasterCard
transactions will be credited to the same card used in the original transaction.
Gender Equity Policy
The City of Richland complies with Washington’s “Fair Play and Community Sports Act”
that prohibits discrimination against any person in a community athletics program on the
basis of gender. Any questions or comments, contact Laurel Strand, Parks and Recreation
Manager, at 500 Amon Park Dr., Richland, WA 99352, (509) 942-7501,

Sports Concussion and Head Injuries (Zachary Lystedt Law)
A concussion is a brain injury and all brain injuries are serious. They are caused by a bump,
blow or jolt to the head or by a blow to another part of the body with the force transmitted
to the head. They can range from mild to severe and can disrupt the way the brain normally
works. Even though most concussions are mild, all concussions are potentially serious and
may result in complications including prolonged brain damage and death if not recognized
and managed properly. In other words, even a “ding” or bump on the head can be serious.
You can’t see a concussion and most sports concussions occur without loss of
consciousness. Signs and symptoms of concussion may show up right after the injury, or
can take hours to fully appear. If your child reports any symptoms of concussion, or if you
notice the symptoms or signs of concussion yourself, seek attention right away. For current
and up-to-date information on concussions go to: www.cdc.gov/concussion
