Veterans Park Complex
Critical upgrades for Richfield’s busiest park.
Veterans Park is Richfield’s most versatile and visited park. Whether it is swimming, skating, attending the farmers market, walking the trails or playing mini golf, the complex serves Richfield residents and surrounding community members alike. Despite regular maintenance, many amenities throughout the park require significant upgrades and renovations to maintain the safety and health of patrons.
Project Updates:
The estimated timeline for the various projects at Veterans Park is 2025-2028, starting with the highest priority—the pool liner—since it is already on borrowed time. The addition of the elevator in Rink#1 also needs urgent attention to make the facility ADA accessible. Bundling diverse improvements into phases will allow some amenities to be enjoyed while others are under construction.
