A word from the City of Rich Hill...

We are working hard to improve and maintain our city parks for everyone to enjoy. Unfortunately, recent acts of vandalism are damaging public property. Vandalism will not be tolerated. These parks belong to our entire community, and repairing damage takes time and resources away from positive projects. We ask all residents to respect these shared spaces and report any vandalism or suspicious activity. Let’s work together to protect what belongs to all of us. -City of Rich Hill
