Facilities and Services

Richmond Recreation Center is actually a network of parks, facilities, and programs scattered throughout Richmond, California. No matter if you're looking to shoot some hoops, find a peaceful green space, or join a community program, this department has something to offer.

The Richmond Recreation Complex on Macdonald Avenue represents the heart of the operation. Open weekdays from 8AM to 8:15PM, it's where you can find many of the community activities happening. It's a convenient central spot where locals gather to stay active and connected.

Throughout the year, you can look forward to special community events that bring everyone together. These gatherings help create that neighborhood feeling that makes Richmond special.
