Growing up in Richmond Kentucky has been amazing. Richmond has so much history and many things to do. I grew up just right down the road from two really neat state parks; Fort Boonesboroug; the second-largest Civil War Battlefield and White Hall State Shrine. It is also the home of Easter Kentucky University. Richmond offers many fun parks for families including a small water park through the parks and recreation department. Richmond also has an amazing and upstanding police department. Our community is one to support many groups and listen to and love each others. I feel fortune to go up in Richmond and be exposed to the different diversities. The city of Richmond offers many opportunities to the youth including bringing in many well known business to provide great job options during our high school days. While Richmond is an amazing community, it is my hope to see more time and money given to the road department to keep residence and their families more safe.
I love that I have family within the area, and I love the athletic life that I have experienced living in close proximity to Eastern Kentucky University. There are many food places for students and residences of Richmond, and there are many things to do such as bowling and a water park. However, I would love to see more restaurants and more activities such as malls, mini golf, and more that would be seen in connecting areas such as Lexington.
I have thoroughly enjoyed Richmond so far! There's a variety of entertainment all around town, such as thrift stores and local shops, tons of restaurants, and all kinds of other things to find in a college town! It's a town located right off of Lake Reba, so there's tons of outdoor activities to take part in as well.
