PARKS & RECREATION

Our current outdoor sports spaces are for seasonal use. We can convert many of them for year-round use. Tennis and Basketball courts can be upgraded for multi-use, like Pickle Ball or Ball Hockey with little effort. Residents will have safe outdoor spaces with a larger selection of sports year-round.

Richmond Green is a great facility but was built when Richmond Hill was half its current size. As our population grows we need facilities to match our growth. I will support the construction of new sports facilities.

With the Rapid growth of Richmond Hill, our parks and green spaces have suffered. I will support the establishment of more public parks and green spaces as part of all new construction plans and push for more large sports fields.

Our public parks and recreation facilities need common sense upgrades. I will support more and better lighting for public parks and recreation spaces. Our residents and youth will have safe public places that can be used later into the evening.
