Phase II: Richmond Hill Riverwalk

The Richmond Hill Riverwalk is now open for public use!

Stretching from Tresser Blvd. to Richmond Hill Ave. the Richmond Hill Riverwalk is an important next step in our efforts to extend Mill River Park south to Long Island Sound.  The project kicked off with the removal of dead trees and invasive species such as the Norway Maple, followed by new grading and the reinforcement of the riverbank and the addition of walking paths and light posts.

Now, thousands of new native perennials, shrubs and trees, benches and a horseshoe pit will be added on the West side of the river to complete the updates.

Current Funding:
On March 15, 2024, the Collaborative received $17 million to help complete work on this project and connect the main portion of the Park to Long Island Sound.
