Confirmed from Riverwalk 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.

“Beautiful park with Pavillion, sidewalks, green spaces, and basketball court.”
This park has great river views. It is very well kept and clean. It is a great park for walking, running,and picnics. It has wide open spaces for throwing a ball and a fitness zone to get in a workout.
Master plan park still in development. Great open spaces, close to downtown, clean, with walking trail along the Duck River. Make sure to visit on Saturday mornings for the farmers market in the main pavilion. As of 2019, there is a fitness park with body weight equipment.
Nicely paved walking trail. Beautiful River views. Very nice water fountain play area for the kids.
Cool, little park! It’s a great place to escape during your lunch break if you work in Columbia. I picked up some lunch and sat on the wall, near the water. It was in the early afternoon on a weekday, so there weren’t many people there. I saw a few people walking. It’s a great place to “get your steps in.
