Howard Amon Park

Howard Amon Park in downtown Richland is one of our favorite stops. In summer there is a concession stand with snacks and ice cream. Because it's a large park beside the river, there are usually lots of birds, squirrels, and people walking their dogs--awesome for kids who like to watch animals.
