Richmond Hill is also one of the most multicultural cities of the GTA with a large amount of activities. There are 166 parks within the Richmond Hill Parks, Recreation and Culture department.

This park is open for anyone to enjoy and is central to the community.
 
If you prefer court sports, there are tennis courts planted throughout the city with two tennis facilities at David Hamilton Park and Crosby Park, which is also home base for the Richmond Hill Lawn Tennis Club.

Maybe swimming is more your thing? Well prepare to get your splash on in one of six public swimming pools within Richmond Hill, one of which is an extremely large indoor wave pool. This wave pool is family friendly and even includes a 160ft water slide.
 
During the summer when everyone is out enjoying the beautiful weather the city has a series of concerts titled “Concerts in the Park” and each one has a specific theme to it. These concerts are very popular and are put on by Mill Pond and the Richmond Green.
