Confirmed from Ridge Ferry 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.
Recreational park by the river offering picnic tables, a playground & an outdoor concert stage.

Nice park. Like the trail that go around the park and the workout station. The E.C.O nature center was really nice too
Very nice park with a beautiful wetlands area filled with yellow flag irises. The Eco Center is free and has wildlife exhibits. There are playgrounds, a beautiful trail that follows the river, dog parks, and exercise equipment.
