Ripley City Park provides an Olympic size swimming pool and water slide, a new 21 fixture spray pad free to use, brand new lighted tennis courts, brand new pickleball courts, two picnic shelters with electricity, a baseball field, a basketball court, walking trail, and a large playground. A new large gazebo, excellent for family picnics, has recently been added to the City Park. The West Ripley Park provides five baseball/softball fields, two soccer fields, a playground, and a walking trail. Ripley also has two brand new parks, Patriot Point and Parsons Corner.
