One wouldn’t usually think of a little 5.4 acre park to be anything worthy of Unilocaling about, but Richard Historic Park and Nature Preserve happens to be one. It has everything a good park should have. It has quiet green space, lovely trees, a natural nature surrounding, a historic building, plenty of parking, an observation walk and pier, a boat dock, a superb location and provides a variety of recreational not only for individuals but for community functions as well. Wilton Manors, sometimes known as the Island City, really is an island city, but only somewhat, being bordered by the North and the South Fork of the Middle River, and it is in Richardson Historic Park and Nature Preserve that the«Wilton Manors Taste of the Island» event is held wherein numerous area restaurants offer a taste of the culinary arts. It is also here that people enjoy nature walks, bird watching, picnics, fishing, and canoeing, kayaking, crabbing and other leisure activities. The centerpiece of the park is the historic Richardson building, the grandest and most prominently historic(historic because here, other than retirees from the north, things aren’t very old) home in Wilton Manors. Built in 1958 as the Richardson’s manor house it was sold to the City of Wilton Manors in 2002 and dedicated as a park in 2007.
