Confirmed from Riverfront Commemorative 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.
Greenway along the Willamette River featuring a paved walkway, benches & statues, plus fountains.
What runners say about Riverfront Commemorative Park
“Bathroom are available not always clean but okay.”
“You could get anything from beautiful fresh produce, to freshly smoked salmon, fresh pressed apple cider, fresh made kombucha, I can’t say fresh anymore!”
A great part of downtown. Plenty of parking, flourishing flowers and trees, easy paved path. Benches for a rest, on Saturday , Farmers Market is bustling with fresh local produce, good and services. Everything from grass fed meat to small business lotions, soaps and creams.
A beautiful park with a water fountain for kids to splash in on hot summer days. Close to downtown where there many restaurants to dine in and shops to see. Cheap and easy parking right next to park. About 30 cents for 2 hrs. Has a nice long path alongside the river with a good view of the river all along the path.
A great place to walk and enjoy the fountains. Also Great place to take kids to play in the water for free. Bathroom are available not always clean but okay. Parking is easy to find and parking meter managable to use.
Beautiful little place to walk in the fall with the leaves at full display. Visited the farmers market and artisan fair on Saturday and enjoyed seeing the various venders and was able to snag a few really great deals on hats, jewelry, and body butter!
