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 featuring a miniature train, a playground, picnic facilities, and a beach.
What runners say about Riverside Park
“Beautiful picture Park, Yuma is a city you must visit it will not disappoint you.”
Super spot to see the end of The Colorado River. I've rafted through The Grand Canyon on The Colorado. The river is 300 yards wide and raging. Here, I can swim across the mighty Colorado River in 5 strokes. Bike, hike, bird watch. The trail that goes along river is really nice. Bathrooms too. Enjoy.
Excellent park on the Colorado river. Nice natural or paved trails. Directly next to Historic Yuma Territory Prison. Miles of trails.
Always good for a place to walk. Take it easy and see some of the wetlands
Nice park. Went for an insulator show, large railroad area. I want to see the trains running. Right next to Yuma territorial prison and the prison cemetery.
