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.

Gorgeous park. One of my favorite places to take my dogs since the walking trail is pretty long. There are several areas that overlook the water, including a fishing pier.

A nice big park with plenty of swings and equipment to play on, cool trees to climb, jogging trails, covered picnic tables to bbq at, bathrooms in descent condition, tennis courts and there’s also veterans memorial island which is a beautiful place to walk and…
