Confirmed from East Riverside 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. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Athletic facilities including sand volleyball, plus a playground, picnic shelter & community garden.
What runners say about East Riverside Park
“Not fund of trees being so close by the play area, other than that this is a Nice,Clean,off in the Private Park with a Baseball Field and Volleyball Sandbox.”
“I really appreciated the shade from the trees and that there were covered areas on the equipment.”
“Nice, quiet park with a fun playground, a sand volleyball court, community garden and a wonderful pavilion with lots of picnic tables.”
Nice small shaded park...it was a quiet spot to enjoy with the grand babies
Lovely park. the first 2 fields can be enjoyed with any activity! Model planes, kites, bicycles, and all of the summertime fun! When you think the park is over, it's just getting started! Nice picnic area in the shade with a roof!
Excellent location and facilities. Decent parking, although the pickleball parking is a bit tight for larger vehicles. Biggest issue is the lack of Stacking/rotating on the pickleball courts during peak hours.
Nice, quiet, and peaceful park. In my opinion, better place to take smaller kids due to the small play area. Great place to walk your dogs, has wooded areas and plenty big enough for a good walk. Occasional crowd, mainly during sporting events. One Large picnic shelter available to rent out for events.
