Confirmed from Rotary 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.
Riverfront open space spanning 14 acres with a skateboard park, trails, playing fields & playground.
What runners say about Rotary Riverside Park
“It is kept pretty clean and the bathrooms are not bad at all for being public.”
“Great family 👪 park skate park next to it playground water accessible beautiful great for sports bikes walking runners 🏃♂️ and more”
This place is fabulous. Skate park. Playground,a few tables under covers and/or trees. A baseball field on the far right and also on the far right is the path to the river a small area open to sit by the river. Shallow enough amd slow enough to play in It has a 4 tenths of a mile walking path as well.

A fun park, hidden underneath some forestry also. My friend and I climbed down one part of the embankment and sat near a crisp, clear river. Beautiful scenery, but I could have done without the guy blasting his music for all to hear. Guess I just chose the wrong time to arrive.
I don't know when the new play area for smaller children was put in, but it's a great expansion to this park. Fenced in, my 6 year old daughter had a good time. With squirrels running around the trees made this trip extra fun for her.
