Confirmed from Riverside 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.

“We usually go here for July 4th, but it was nice to see it during the day and not crowded.”
Great park. There are multiple routes to walk. I come here often to get some exercise for myself and adventurous senior dog.
Beautiful park! Paved path along river enables a relaxing, serene, and calming walk. There are various wild flowers and families of baby ducklings (in July) along the path with plenty of benches to stop and rest while absorbing the scenery.
Very clean and well maintained. Lots of riverside spots for fishing. Paved bike/walking trails. Has numerous summer activities including very good free live summer concerts on Friday nights. Has small children's playground. We went there for Friday night's Music at Harry's Place. It was wonderful.
Beautiful Park. My 3 ¾ 8 year old grandchildren had a blast. We watched the ducks and geese on the water inlet. The girls loved the sandbox and the play area. Especially the 2 small streams of water. Bring a towel and their swimsuits! So colorful and fun.
