Confirmed from Riverview Beach 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.
Riverside waterfront park featuring a gazebo, a playground and picnic tables, plus scenic views.

“A great place for families or anyone looking to enjoy some peaceful scenery!”
Love this park! It’s really nice. A beautiful view of the river and it’s relaxing. Perfect for a walk and watching the sunset on the water. There’s a tree I like to sit in.
This is definitely one of the best parks I have visited. Large and open area, nice, paved walk along the water, multiple swings and benches along the way, for both adults and kids. A gazebo and a fountain. Everything is simple and clean, no gadgets or gizmos.
A very good place to take a walk and relax. You can always come here with your friends, children, family, pet. The view is amazing. And place is quiet. You can always come here for finding inner peace. They have small pound with lots of ducks. You will get view of Delaware Memorial Bridge.
Great park for walking, pinics and grilling. They have plenty of picnic tables and grills with a nice view of the water. Plenty of things for kids like swings, sliding and climbing bats. I heard it used to be an amusement park and beach back to the 1800s. Interesting history!
