History of Rider Park
Rider Park was a gift of the late Thomas J. Rider, who wanted to share his love of outdoor recreation with the community.
A businessman and civic leader, Mr. Rider believed strongly in a life of community service. The park is a fitting tribute to a man who balanced work with volunteerism and recreation.
Owned and operated by First Community Foundation Partnership, the park is private land made available for public enjoyment.
