Reinvesting in Richfield Parks and Recreation

Stay informed about Richfield’s investment in parks and recreation projects that help ensure our legacy and our future as a city where all can thrive.

Once considered the ”best-kept secret” in the south metro, the City of Richfield now hosts thousands of residents and visitors each year at major recreation destinations, including the Richfield Community Center, Wood Lake Nature Center and Veterans Park.

In November 2024, Richfield residents voted overwhelmingly to continue investing in our city and its amenities. Our residents recognize that when we invest in parks and recreation, we are investing in the quality of life of our residents.

Approved by voters, the $80 million Our Legacy, Our Future investment plan will address critical infrastructure issues and provide additional space and recreational opportunities at the Richfield Community Center, Wood Lake Nature Center and Veterans Park.

Included in this Plan

  • Wood Lake Nature Center

    A new educational facility will soon replace the existing Wood Lake Nature Center building to provide a more accessible setting for residents and visitors to reconnect with nature.

  • Veterans Park

    Several serious issues will be addressed at Veterans Park, including major repairs to the swimming pool, ice arena and trails.

  • Richfield Community Center

    The city’s aging community center will be replaced with a facility designed to support more activities and programs for residents of all ages.
