Romtec works across the country to design, supply, and construct public use buildings for parks and recreation applications. Many of these applications require special features that exemplify a particular community, historical quality, or theme. San Marcos, California has committed to improving its parks throughout the city, and Romtec has participated on several projects that each require specialized design considerations. The most recent project was for the new Richmar Park that will be officially opened on February 17, 2017.

Richmar Park is located in what was previous a vacant lot owned by the City on Richmar Avenue. The Richmar neighborhood is historic to the City of San Marcos and is an up-and-coming area for revitalization and development. This park is part of a larger effort by the City to provide more parks, including opening Connor’s Park in 2014 and reopening Buelow Park in 2011.
