Confirmed from Mountain View 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.
What runners say about Mountain View Park
“This park clearly is quite proper and well maintained and is located in a fairly decent residential area.”
“It is a wonderful place to take a walk and get some fresh air while getting some great views of the mountains.”
“It's located in a quiet neighborhood and the trees all around the park provides shade and brings the degrees of the weather down.”
Previously, I reviewed this park and included several photographs of it. Unfortunately, due to some unknown rationale, Google Maps have seemingly deleted that review, while labeling it's pictures; "view place". That particular review is of Mountain View Park, located at 6241 Wiehe Avenue in Riverside, CA.
I have come to this park consistently most of my life. It is a wonderful place to take a walk and get some fresh air while getting some great views of the mountains. There is occasional train noise as they rumble by, but otherwise it is quiet and a nice park to relax at for a while.
A nice park to walk around and bring the kids to the playground 🛝 You can bring food and snacks and let the kids play I found parking on the street and came to do a 20 min walk ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Definitely recommend this park
Great spot to blaze it lol Friendly neighborhood park. Not many people go here except nearby residents, but it is a great place were families bring their kids to play and loving dogs to walk. I came here on Easter and played ball with my cousins and saw plenty of other families enjoying their Sunday's as well.
