Project Overview
Anchorage Parks and Recreation is upgrading the Richardson Vista Park playground area! Richardson Vista Park is located on the east side of Government Hill near many large apartment complexes. The park includes a playground for ages 2 through 12, a picnic shelter, and park amenities. The play area was last upgraded in 2004. The Government Hill Parks and Trails Plan recommends improving the playground equipment and play area surfacing at this park.
