Confirmed from Bisset Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one.

Riverside park with picnic shelters & kids' play areas, plus various athletic fields & paved trails.

My happy place, Bisset Park! There's something for everyone. Various sports can be played throughout the park. There is alot of space for soccer or football and there are areas for volleyball as well. There has recently been added a basketball court and a skate park.
I love this place! It is a big park in the middle of radford, alongside the might New River. It has a docking area, many trails, picnic areas, playgrounds, dog area, and tennis/pickle ball courts. The tennis courts are my favorites. It is very accessible and have many parking spots.
