Richmond North is the catalogue name for the Hawkesbury locality commonly called North Richmond. It is a practical place to slow down beside the river, use local parks and make a small-town stop before exploring further through the district.
Choose a simple park stop
Hanna Park is listed by Hawkesbury City Council among popular parks, and the park-bookings guidance (opens in a new tab) says family picnics can use parks and reserves without a prior booking. Check the page before travelling for current facility or playground notices; the North Richmond Community Precinct playground is presently listed as temporarily closed.
Keep river conditions in view
Council’s Hawkesbury rivers information (opens in a new tab) identifies a canoe-access jetty at Hanna Park and points visitors to recreational water-quality information. River conditions can change, so use formal access points, follow local signs and check current advice before entering the water or launching a craft.
Allow for a changing community precinct
The North Richmond community-facility update (opens in a new tab) describes current planning around the Community Precinct. Treat this as a reason to confirm access, works and local services directly on the day rather than relying on an old itinerary.
