DISCOVER SUMMER FUN IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD!

One of the best things about military life is the opportunity to explore hidden gems in your community. One of those hidden gems is the Rick Herrema Foundation or Rick's Place. Rick's Place was founded by a military family in honor of SFC Rick Herrema who was killed in action in 2008. 

Rick's Place is a 50 acre greenspace 5.5 miles from Fort Bragg. Rick's Place strengthens military families and builds community through fun, quality activities. They host FREE monthly Family Fun Days and have a phenomenal park that is open from dawn to dusk 7 days a week.
