Confirmed from Riverfront Regional 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 Riverfront Regional Park
Well groomed park. Nice disc golf course, along the river. Plenty of places to picnic, and get a look at the river. The walkway joins up with the trail system. Boat launch room for 20 trailers and 5 cars.
We absolutely love this playground. It's kind of off the beaten path and doesn't usually have other people there and it's super cute and clean! There is a porta-potty available and the playground isn't a far distance from the parking lot.
Fairly decent park along the regional trail! There's disc golf, some nice areas away from the disc golf that you can run around with the dogs, a few places to sit along the waterfront, and even a wedding venue. Also, it's probably popular because its playground is built to look like a castle so...that's pretty cool.
Well maintained park ; great for walks. Plenty space for family picnic. At least 2 restrooms areas, there might be a third one too.
