Confirmed from Scott 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 park featuring playgrounds and a bandshell, plus views of the bridge.

“It is the perfect spot to relax, and I truly appreciate the city's hard work in maintaining this beautiful community space”
“It feels even more peaceful, safe, and welcoming than before.”
Very lovely, nice, cozy park. Great just for a walk or bringing kids. Good place to take pictures. Nice view of the Northampton Bridge and rail road bridge on the other side. America's first Christmas tree is here. The boxer Larry Holmes statue is also here.
It is a nice small but nice place to go for a walk and take the children and dogs. It's clean, safe, and well maintained. And a nice place to take pictures.
This was by far the nicest farmers market I've ever experienced...set in such a scenic beautiful park!!..My heart was so happy..great vendors , nice seating area by the waterway..freshest produce ive ever seen. And the set-up and flow was strategically placed and perfect 🥰...
Such a beautiful spot where the Lehigh River and Delaware River meet. Park is really well maintained and you can walk down below right next to the river along a walkway. Across the river is Phillipsburg which looks nice from this angle.
