Riverside Park

This is such a nice park. Wide open spaces, beautiful view of the river, and a fun little playground for kids. Easy access and parking. Great for a walk any time of day. Best in fall with the beautiful changing of leaves.

Great park! A long walking trail along the river, tons of shade. A really nice area as well to explore afterwards!

One of the best things about grand rapids. This park is always week maintained and stretches along the grand River for miles. There are parts of this park I could and have, spent hours relaxing.

Perfect place for an after work walk! I loved that the river was near, and it provided a nice fresh breeze 👌

Loved this park! It has different areas of sports, walking dogs, picnic tables and such. It is big enough that you will never feel crowded and the different views of the river and ponds is glorious. It is very clean.

This is one of my favorite parks to go to for hammocking. There is a disc golf course though so keep that in mind when choosing a place to sit/picnic/hammock. There are gendered restrooms with two stalls each just north of the playground, and there is a pavilion right by the restrooms. I've seen quite a few people fishing by the area where the playground is so that may be a nice spot to set up for anyone who enjoys fishing.

Great place to run. They have a free 5k called parkrun that meets here almost every Saturday. I’ve had two cross country races here and they were fantastic. There are extensive paved paths in addition to the dirt trails and the whole area is shaded and almost perfectly flat which is perfect for long runs or time trials.
The white pine trail goes through/starts in this park and goes all the way to Cadillac.

Such a pretty place all year long, great walking path and super stunning nature to take photos of. Decent sized parking lot so even on a busy day you’ll most likely get a parking spot.

So much beautiful open space. Lots of ways to utilize this gem in Grand Rapids. Lots of open walking, jogging spaces. Park benches to enjoy the park and water front. Several areas for kids to play.
The park allows for picnics, enjoying the open spaces with your dog as well.

Great, clean park for walking👍

Nice park for running, connects to the White Pine trail. Often group runs at 8 am on Saturday and usually a free parkrun 5k at 9 am on Saturdays.

The Park is beautiful, perfect for walking,jogging, biking and dog walking. Just be careful walking along the river. It is covered with waist high poison ivy.

I love it here. There is plenty of shade. The walkways are wide. It's clean and serene. Lots of seating along the path.

A lovely, long stretch of a park. A must see in the fall!! Plenty of space and options to do here.

Cool place to run. Fall beauty, and the park was well maintained.

I always enjoy a visit to Riverside Park. My dog, Taz, loves to run around and explore! The scenery is lovely, the park is clean, and fellow visitors have always been pleasant. Definitely one of our favorite parks nearby!

Very Beautiful! Peaceful! Full of wild life. Huge park that runs alongside the Grand River. Ball fields of all kinds. Tennis courts. Walk/Jogging path that circles entire park.
Perfect....

We mostly just bike through this park. It is very scenic, has nice opportunities to view the river. There are nice bathrooms and great picnic areas. It is a great locations for a nice stroll.

A beautiful and peaceful place!

Spectacular park. The scenery is awesome no matter what time of the season. The bike path is extensive and there are a few spots for some decent fishing. There are several picnic tables and places just to play some ping pong. Very nice park. Even the animals enjoy the park.
