Confirmed from Riverbank 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.
Scenic park featuring a playground, slides, swings, and kayak rentals.
What runners say about Riverbank Park
“This park is always kept clean and safe, making it a perfect spot for any weekend outing.”
“Come feed the birds go fishing play at park there's always something to do at this park and it's beautiful.”
Really beautiful park to stop at for a break, or short walk. There is also a child's playground here. Different birds, water, trees & other lovely sights!! Limited parking...
Definitely loved the place, went there to take my dog for a walk and saw some beautiful Mallards. Took some picture, my dog had a great time with a lot different areas. The people seem nice too although everyone kept there distance. I would definitely go again.
Pretty busy, so if you enjoy being around people kids and dogs that's a good place. Apparently there are trails but I personally prefer something a bit Quieter.
Nice park with a variety of things to do for children and adults. Everything from traditional playground equipment to walking trails and monuments. Busy on a beautiful Sunday afternoon with parking stretched to near limits. Lots of people enjoying a walk by themselves or with their dogs. Sounds of children everywhere!
