Confirmed from Waterfront 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 offering a fishing pier, walking/biking trails & a children's playground.

Wonderful park for all ages. Rent kayaks or padfleboards. Walking and biking trails for all. Abutts the ICW. Very scenic. Beautilful childrens memorial walk.
This was a nice place! It has a great walking trail, you can watch boats and seadoos glide by on the river. If you like, there's a fishing pier and a small playground for children. Along the trail, there's a Children's Memorial Garden, so many heartfelt statements to read.
Beautiful place to go for a walk with my dog. Sight seeing the big homes they have nearby and they have a very serene memorial area for lost loved ones.
