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.
Shaded grassy space featuring a xylophone, two slides, a climbing area, and lots of swings.
What runners say about Riverside Park
“The area is well maintained and had different type of playground equipment which made it well inviting.”
“The play area provides different interactive stations, lots of benches with plenty shade.”
Nice place to visit. Touching memorial for lost children and loved ones. Needs maintained better. Growth on the playground equipment rubs off on the children. The kids had so much fun on the ropes and obstacles. My son, Jeremiah, loves making new friends and challenged them to run the course with him.
This park is very lovely and clean. The play area provides different interactive stations, lots of benches with plenty shade. This park also has a bathroom. Near fast foods , grocery stores and gas stations.
Great Park. Small but a lot of fun. There's a small board walk. Lot of birds, squirrels and some bunnies. Playground is clean and in good condition. I was visiting Tampa and went there for my kid to have fun. We both loved it.
Nice part. It's okay. Wish the bathrooms were open sometimes and the city workers really had the city block off the front so you can't park there. So if you don't live in the area you basically can't go to this park cuz there's nowhere to park at or just walk really far cuz that's always fun when it's really hot…
