The City of Richland Parks and Public Facilities Department will begin accepting applications for its 2027 Park Partnership Program on October 30, 2026. The program offers up to $40,000 in matching grant funds from the Park Reserve Fund to support community-driven improvements to City parks, trails, open spaces, and recreational facilities. Grant awards are limited to a maximum of $8,000 per project.

 

The Park Partnership Program encourages collaboration between the City and community partners to enhance public recreational spaces and amenities. The program is designed to support projects that:

  • Enhance the quality of life for Richland residents.

 

Eligible applicants may include community groups, nonprofit organizations, and other partners interested in working collaboratively with the City to improve Richland's parks and recreational facilities.
