Confirmed from Riverfront 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.
Park featuring an outdoor playground, splash pad and picnic areas.
What runners say about Riverfront Park
“It’s very well maintained, always clean, and offers stunning views.”
“Gorgeously re-vamped multi-purpose Park area right on the beautiful Halifax River and across from the shops and restaurants on Beach Street.”
“So, a beautiful peaceful park has this music blaring when it should be quiet so you can enjoy the beautiful views.”
It is a very nice place to walk and take photos. There are many places to visit, such as cafes, restaurants, etc.
Beautifully laid out. Great walking path. BUT, every few yards, there are speakers and music is played over all of them the entire park. So, a beautiful peaceful park has this music blaring when it should be quiet so you can enjoy the beautiful views. If you want music, bring your own with earphones
This park is a beautiful spot for walking by the water, getting in a workout, or enjoying a stroll with your dog. It’s very well maintained, always clean, and offers stunning views. I really enjoyed exploring the spacious grounds and peaceful atmosphere.
Very nice paved walking path along the river. Lots to see, beautiful foliage, sculptures and of course the Daytona Int'l bridge. There is a kids play area at one end as well. Good for walking, walking dogs and biking or running.
