Confirmed from Lloyd G. Balfour Riverwalk 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.
Community park containing facilities such as a skate park, playground & a volleyball area.
What runners say about Lloyd G. Balfour Riverwalk Park
“Beautiful area, newly extended walking path going by cumbys and the train station.”
“Love this river walk, very peaceful 💞 a bit disappointed that there isn't any swings at all?”
Pretty small. Decent playsets for kids. Pretty quiet, and had a nice walking/bike path all the way around the perimeter. Good for kids and adults with kids or for a place for a picnic. Right next door to a great little hamburger and hotdog joint. Darius' Verdict: Worth a visit. 👏
Love this playground and park. There are benches and tables for picnicing, a fun smaller climber my toddler could enjoy, and a bigger climber better for older children as well. There's a skate park area with jumps, lots of grass and the path along the river is fun to walk with lots of bridges.
Very quiet and scenic. Nice playground and walking path. Also an area to skateboard, and ride bikes
Beautiful area, newly extended walking path going by cumbys and the train station. Right next to the library (can use restrooms and water bubbler during library hours). To separate playground areas for different ages, walking paths, volleyball court, skate park area, benches.
