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.
Park and town destination popular for its picnic tables, swings and slides, plus waterfalls.
What runners say about Riverside Park
“Clean and enough seating for Parents.”
“Beautiful park near a cute downtown area with lots of little shops including a Starbucks and a nice little bookstore we visited.”
Such a cute little park! It’s not huge but it feels so quaint in the middle of the town. A nice walking path along the river, with a playground that has swings, slides, and a few other little activities. The path has large steps by the river where you can sit, it also has benches along the way too.
I been going there for years. My family abd I love this park. We always take our professional family pictures there too. It's clean. It has awesome popcorn store! Nice other stores and dining options. Once a year they have AMAZING parade. Memorial day parade normally on Sunday at 1 I believe. It goes for few hours.
This park is a great place for 3-year-olds to play and explore. The park is in a beautiful setting. It is well-designed so that the elements are not too crowded or too far apart.
Beautiful park near a cute downtown area with lots of little shops including a Starbucks and a nice little bookstore we visited. Beautiful waterfall with access down to the stream. Playground and sidewalks to walk around on. Recommend visiting if you're driving through or in the area
