We had a picnic with a few friends and enjoyed Riverbend park! It's close to highway 70 and off Montgomery Street in Oroville . Although I love my big trees at Condon Park in Grass Valley I still thought this was a really nice park! We used the bbq and enjoyed the nice scenery (went early before it got hot). There is access to the river with a boat ramp. Tons of picnic areas! The grass is still green and well maintained ! I saw a few people trying to catch fish. Plenty of shady areas to enjoy your lunch! There is also play areas for the kiddos! Bathrooms were fairly clean. This place was well thought out with roundabouts and well marked exits. Walking paths ate pretty flat and they have ample amount of parking..including handicapped parking. I would definitely visit this place again. I would recommend going morning or afternoon to be on the safe side! Ps. They have LIVE music on Thursday nights when we get closer to summer! read more

Pretty neat park along the river. Easter Sunday and lots of picnics and families enjoying the day. A church was even preforming baptisms in the river. Pretty neat to watch. The trail was clean and had places to play for kiddos. Had disc golf areas. read more

Riverbend Park - Parks Near Me - Oroville, California

This is such a beautiful park but the homeless and transients have taken over. I would probably never try taking a stroll here without my dog walking alongside me. read more

Great park to walk your dog along the river, play a huge disc golf course, have a picnic, bbq, or bring your kids. There are lots of tables/benches/gazebos, and you can rent the gazebos. It has a big play structure for the kids and several structures for exercising/ stretching. Abundant parking and access to a dog park. Large park with lots of trails, and you can take the trail along the water to Bedrock park. I did notice a couple homeless people with off leash dogs on this trail under the highway, but I went around them. There were police circling the parking lot keeping an eye on things. As another reviewer pointed out,this park is actually located at the end of Montgomery street, next to Highway 70. Great if you're staying at a motel nearby- you can walk. You will see a big "Feather Falls, Catch the Dream" sign above the entrance. read more

My hubby and I love this place. We come here once a week and take a walk with our dogs and grab some lunch and drive home. We live about 40min away and it's worth the trip, we have loved the weather and people out here are so friendly. The park is absolutely beautiful with lovely views of the river and it's very clean. My husband has skipped rocks and even thought about playing frisbee golf. We plan to come again next weekend. read more

Beautiful park with lots of open space to run around, play, walk, workout, fish, etc. Love to come down for soccer, lunch, or family time. Only thing is the picnic tables are not really in shaded areas. Lots of dry landscape and grass. Also a great place for concerts during the warmer months! read more

I'm shocked that I've drove past this years! We decided to check it out today, WOW! So nice! Clean! This is a perfect place for a picnic or take your dogs for a walk! Just so nice! read more

This is a gem! So peaceful and beautiful! Well maintained, clean and relaxing. Our kids loved it and so did we. Highly recommend checking this one of a kind park out. We didn't run into any shady folk, the disc playing is very popular here and they take their sport very serious! read more

This is one of my favorite places mostly because of the Feather River. Its beautiful here! Ya there are some questionable ppl hanging around but Im from San Jose so Im not intimidated. The river is full of fish, crawdads & fun. The water is clear& crisp.The grass is plush & thick. And theres always parking. One thing though there should be vending machines for soda & water. read more

Really beautiful park and nice sandy beach access to calm but cold river. Would have liked to have seen life jacket lending lockers as there were far too many kids going out in the deeper parts and then realizing just how cold the water was compared to the heat on the land. At 106° temps it's easy to forget how quickly hypothermia can hit in the cold rivers. Dog friendly. Lots of grassy areas, covered picnic areas, convenient parking, and beautifully maintained. Chatted with several folks, some locals - some tourists, all were friendly. On of the best (prettiest, well planned) river access public parks I've seen along the Pacific coast states. But seriously - put up some life jacket lending lockers!!) Will definitely make it a point to stop here again when in the area read more

If you're going to the river to tube, take 2 vehicles. Park one under the green bridge by the fish hatchery where you'll start & the other at Riverbend Park where you'll end. Regardless of how hot it is outside, the water is comparable to an ice bath. I suggest getting a tube or raft where your entire body is out of the water. Keep in mind the water is really shallow at times. Wear sandals in case you need to walk on sharp rocks. It's a beautiful area! Definitely worth experiencing. read more

Love the feather river beach here. A very nice and refreshing spot to cool down in this weather. This park has small stations for you to stretch and workout. There is a trail that goes along the river and has benches and frisbee golf baskets. Be weary of some of the homeless people there. read more

Easy to park, offers great views of the sacramento river and has great facilities, what more could you want? It can be a little tricky finding it of 70 so make sure you don't use Apple maps to find it. read more

Best disc golf course in Northern California.

Thought this park was going to help Oroville. Yet, Oroville creeps in all the time when you least expect it. Keep an eye on the kids for sure. read more

Fun park with lots of space and a front row river view. Bring the dogs, or the running shoes, or the swim trunks!

This park is much like any other park paid for by public funds and maintained by a local municipality. As other reviewers have mentioned, it does have a lot to offer those who love the outdoors. Since it is still relatively new, everything is still in excellent shape. With the economy the way it is, the City of Oroville and the Feather River Parks and Recreation District has done a pretty decent job keeping it clean, appealing, and the type of place one would feel comfortable bringing their family most of the time. But because of where it is, there are still some things you have to watch out for. A previous reviewer mentioned drugs and alcohol. Despite their best efforts, authorities continue to have (at times) a tough time keep that element in check. As long as you go early in the day through mid afternoon you should be just fine. The disc golf, swimming, boating, hiking, and bbq facilities make this an excellent place to spend a day with the family enjoying the great outdoors along the Feather River. read more

I love this park! It's a wonderful place to bring your pets. There is a dog park if you take a dirt road to the left when you are first entering the park or you can have them on a leash in the main park area. In the dog park area there is a small and large dog areas which are separate from each other. They both include water bowls for the dogs :) The main park has an awesome walking path! It's a great place to take the family during Salmon season. You can see hundreds of fish swimming in the river. I moved from southern Ca so this was very cool to me, I'd never seen anything like it. An awesome spot to bring the kids for a fun day. There is swimming and play grounds, concerts in the park and lots of other things that go on here! There can be some questionable people around, but hey that's anywhere you go. Just keep your family and pets in sight and you will have a great time! Oh I forgot to mention that there are HUGE fields for sports activities too! As well as a disc golf coarse! read more

Great park, easy access to river for swimming, river walking trail, free disc golf course (I have never used it, but it always has people playing). Excellent launch ramp to launch kayaks, easy paddle toward Bedrock Park and back to Riverbend. Great paddle for beginners and lots of bird watching. I kayak there alone often, totally safe. the launch ramp makes it very easy to load and unload my kayak alone. read more

Riverbend Park has a lot to offer for people looking for a place to play disc golf or getting some cardio done and much more if you don't mind drugs and alcohol. The Disc Golf course is free to play which is always a plus but the downside to that is there is less safety and little enforcement of park rules. The other day me and my dad were playing a short game and there was a group of 8 lounging at the next teebox smoking pot and drinking beer, some of them looked to be under aged as well. wanting to avoid confrontation with a larger group in a heavily wooded area I suggested we skip that hole and move on to another hole and lo and behold another group was there as well drinking and smokin. NO DISC GOLF JUST PEOPLE USING THE PLACE AS THEIR SPEAKEASY! at that point i was too frustrated to go on so we called it a day and played Disc Golf on my Wii. In Summation, Riverbend Park is not really suited for a family outing on a Sunday after church but! if you're looking for a quiet place to smoke your weed and drink your beer in public with little likelihood of getting caught then by all means this is the park for you. read more
