Confirmed from Riverton City 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.
Popular recreation area with playgrounds, picnic spots and splash pads, plus skate ramps.
What runners say about Riverton City Park
“The park is very clean and tidy, open sidewalks running double wide or more on the paths that cross through the park connecting the perimeter.”
“It has three great parks for kids of all ages, wide open fields for groups sports, tennis courts, a basketball court, and a skate park.”
Great Park!! Very clean and highly maintained. My fam held our reunion here - the pavilion was great! Good shade, good bathrooms, stocked and clean. I walked around - tennis courts, stadium, playground, skate park, plenty of parking and room to walk. It's a great place to getaway in the middle of the city.
Lovely big park. We've enjoyed 4th of July events as well as simply walking around and playing. There's a skate park at the north entrance, to the west some basketball hoops, and you keep going around the main pavilion at the center to reach more of the park.
This is a very nice and well manicured park. We brought our dog on a walk through the park and she was able to say hi to a bunch of people and nice dogs. It looked like there was a fenced in area for dogs to play together but we were happy enough just walking around the park for a while before our pup got tired.
A much needed lung space in the middle of the bustling City of Riverton, Salt Lake City, Utah. Clean and well maintained with extensively laid path ways and playgrounds. The park is prepared for the 4th July Independence day celebrations when we last visited with amusement parks, demarcated fireworks places etc.
Trail conditions & character
“Parking, however, was a real headache: lots filled up well before sunset, and finding an open spot felt impossible unless you arrived hours early.”
“North and south of the pavilion, which has restrooms and tables (maybe 40) all over plus a wide space in the middle, are two woodchips-spread playgrounds.”
“We brought our dog on a walk through the park and she was able to say hi to a bunch of people and nice dogs.”
“One of the Beautiful & Big parks in the Neighborhood, Plenty of space with goods views, children play area is huge and awesome.”
