RYA families, we have to give out some parking reminders. We are starting to receive parking complaints again about our activities at Richfield Park. As a reminder, NRHPD will patrol through the parking lot periodically and may opt to write citations if vehicles are parked illegally.

At Richfield Park, the ramp next to our concession stand is for official use only for emergency vehicles or city vehicles only. We do not allow coaches or parents to use this ramp for parking or unloading, as it is the only emergency access ramp available in case of a medical emergency on one of our fields.

Additionally, we have had multiple issues with our handicap spots at the park. The handicap spots are only for use by drivers/families with handicap placards. The white slashed parking spaces next to the handicap spots can NOT be parked in at all, not even to unload. These spaces are to give handicap vehicles more space to unload wheelchairs or otherwise access their vehicles.

Please help us by sharing this information with family members and friends who may be attending practices or games. We do not want families to have their vehicles cited or towed, but we can not continue having these issues.

Thank you, and we hope to have a great rest of the fall season for our baseball, cheer, football, and softball teams!

Just a reminder to our parents, coaches, and volunteers!

RYA partners with the North Richland Hills Parks and Recreation Department to provide youth sports in NRH. The Parks & Rec Department has installed Perry Weather monitors at Richfield, Cross Timbers, and Walker's Creek Parks where we operate several fields.

The monitors serve two purposes:

1. They monitor lightning within 10 miles. When there is a lightning strike within 10 miles of the park, a timer will start counting down from 30 minutes and the fields, dugouts must be cleared until the area has been lightning-free for at least 30-minutes. There will be audible alerts at the park and flashing yellow lights on the monitor at each location.

2. The monitors also measure the WBGT of each park. This temperature takes into account a variety of elements - the actual temperature, cloud cover, wind, and other factors to generate a different WBGT number. If this number is between 90.0-92.0, practices must be limited to 1-hour. If the number exceeds 92.1+, no practices/games may occur.

With regards to WBGT, we understand that this temperature can vary from minute-to-minute. For this reason, we do allow some discretion for coaches to pause practice and hold teams in a shaded area while monitoring the WBGT to see if it will fall back below acceptable means.

The WBGT is the measurement tool that all Texas schools have begun using under Texas UIL policies and the primary goal is player safety. If you have questions about these policies, please feel free to send us a message and we'll try and address any questions you may have.
