    • Limited parking at the Round Church (there is a house near, so please take that into consideration).  Alternatives include the Park & Ride, Richmond Post Office/Town Ctr, Richmond Volunteer's Green (next to On The Rise Bakery--but only park there if you plan on making a purchase--we encourage you to do so because they have good stuff!)
