SOOOOO Grateful this park was fixed after Helene. Thank you for all the hard work, time, money, and dedication it took to get it looking so great again. I know one day soon it will be better than ever! My favorite part about living in Asheville is all the green space 💚 especially Richmond Hill Park!

I love the park. I love taking my dog on leash. But it is getting harder to enjoy because people have their dogs off leash. It is a problem. I was told by one man to call the police, he wasn't very nice. Today I was told by a woman to find another park to walk my dog. These people are not considering that there are elderly people who are trying to stay in shape that their dog could cause a fall. Also there maybe children out enjoying the park and could be knocked down. Bikers can hit the dog accidentally. I have as much right as they to walk my dog here at the park. Please let's adhere to the rules of the park. The rules are posted in plain sight on the building. There are dog parks that dogs can run off leash. If we just can consider others and their pets it would be much appreciated.

Clean bathroom and even has a water fountain for your dog. Trails are well kept. Has mulch on most of them so it keeps the mud to a minimum. 4.5 stars
