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.
A playground, picnic space, open grassy lawns & fishing are the draw at this local, waterfront park.
What runners say about Riverside Park
“The park is generally clean and well-kept, though a few areas show their age.”
“It was raining, but it still was a very beautiful and unique drive through.”
“Great Spot, Peaceful and Quiet, not a soul at the park at 4am, very filled during daytime however, and can get quite buggy during daylight hours”
We had a fun afternoon at the Riverside Park playground. There's a nice walking path around the park with an awesome rocket themed playground. There are multiple slides, a rock wall, a short track ride, and lots of neat interactive rocket gadgets. The park also has a sand pit with a digger and various swings.
This park is really unique and fun to play at. It's in a beautiful area of town by the Fox River. Plenty of room to walk and enjoy the trails. Nice restrooms not to far from the playground.
Nice park with lots of areas to play. Swings, slides, sand,a walking path along the river and much more. There is also a shelter with bathrooms.
An excellent place for walks, jogs, outdoor grilling, fishing, and serenity. Has a giant dedicated playset for children to romp, but the park is big enough to set up shop elsewhere if kids aren't in your plan. Lots of benches by the river, with downtown Neenah as your backdrop across the water.
