Riverside Park is like a breath of fresh air in the city hustle. Its lush greenery and scenic river views make it a perfect spot for picnics, strolls, or simply unwinding in nature's embrace. With its well-kept trails and diverse recreational options, it's a haven for anyone seeking a peaceful escape. Whether you're into jogging, birdwatching, or just soaking up the tranquility, Riverside Park has something for everyone. Tons of kid friendly places to play and good man made water lakes.

Riverview Park is one of my favorite places to unwind with my family. The playground is perfect for the kids, and we all love the splash pad on hot summer days. The nearby lake and walking trails make it a relaxing spot for a family outing.

Happily benched

Beautiful park with plenty of sidewalks for walking/scootering, water features (kids splash pad), and my personal favorite, some damn AMAZING grass. The grass here is honestly fantastic, something I find super rare in Arizona. It's great for laying on, picnicking, spikeball, throwing various balls, frisbee...the possibilities are really endless. There are large palm trees that provide much needed shade during hotter months as well as many benches...but why not enjoy the fantastic grass??? I'll usually grab a banh mi and bubble tea at the nearby Mekong Sandwiches, but there are also many fast food options walking distance in the nearby Mesa Riverview shopping center so there's no excuse not to have a quick picnic!!

When you pay a visit to Riverview Park, you'll have lots of activity choices.  To name a few of the activies availabily here, there's lots of open, green space to place soccer and/or football, there's a first rate children's play area, and there's even a really nice lake where you can do some urban fishing! Tip: This park is just a hop, skip, and a jump from the spring training camp for the Chicago Cubs Whatever the reason you find yourself heading here, I expect you won't be disappointed :-)

Ducks and more ducks
Vladmir T.

Great Park, Nice Water, Fountain, Cool Playground, Dirty Bathrooms This is a really good park. Nice water pond area with bridges, benches and ducks to feed if you bring bird seed. A nice fountain can be found for the kids to check out. Great playground area I am guessing is closed fir COVID overreactions like some places seem to be intent upon. This park has a lot of potential! - 1 star for really dirty bathrooms. If you need to sit down in the men's room plan to bring some disinfectant wipes and rubber gloves since it looks like every nasty guy not only cannot lift the seat for some reason but also need to literally spray the entire seat and wall in pee! I know this would be tough to keep up with but there was dried and fresh pee of different colors cakes on the seat and the bathroom smells like days of under-cleaned urine deposits.

He loves walks at riverview!

Park has a lot of options for any age, lots of space to sit and eat with a group. Could use more swings and it is often crowded.

This is an amazing park with a splash pad and giant out-of-this-world play structures. My kids love this place, and I do too!

Went for a quick one-mile walk and ended up doing two. It's like Bridge to Terabithia in the heart…read moreof the city: seven ponds, shaded trails, turtles, birds, and a floating boardwalk, all free. The mental health messages along the paths are such a pleasant touch. If you want something more leisurely, you can do an easy walk around the lake. My mom found this helpful, instead of venturing back into the trails. Parking fills up fast, but the library next door has plenty of free spots, and parking there is allowed, so you won't get towed. Bring water!

Being from NYC this is our version of central park. I love the observatory which is open Friday…read moreand Saturday nights sunset till 9pm. It's free but donations are appreciated. They are rib by volunteers. The trails are clean, dogs welcome everywhere, horses in designated areas, camp sites also available to rent which come with bbq grills and pits along with space for tents. Check out their website for the info. This is a great park to take your kids to the playground, go fishing, get your steps in, take your dog food a walk or have a date. Many picture perfect spots which are popular for graduation, wedding, and birthday pics. I even saw a couple get married on the bridge at sunset a quick 5 minute ceremony to not hold up anyone. Parking in a few spots and adjacent to the library for extra parking. 2 bathrooms I've been to are clean and maintained. Water fountains also there.
