Part of the playground, look at the view of mountain greenery and the sky!

Danny K.

Its in a safe beautiful neighborhood. Its a neighborhood park like the other review says so there's no public parking but there are plenty of parking along the side walk. The park is so pretty and yeah the slides could use a cleaning, I bring my own water tissues for my little boy to whatever I find dirty. Great way to see the sunset, I see why couples come here to take pictures. I didn't get the chance to go on the walkway and follow the path around the park. Riverside is lucky to have a park like this. The grass is green, the slides have such nice color, I love the steps included in the playground. If I'm in riverside I'll come here to end the day with my wife and so .

Just wanted to comment on the reveiws here about Sycamore Highlands. This is a neighborhood park, which means it's surrounded by houses and families that live in the community. There are no public facilities, no BBQ's to grill on, no public parking, no restrooms to use. Other than those facts, the rest of the reviews are spot on

This park was SO beautiful. We spent the majority of our time down by the play structure so my daughter could play but at sunset, the top of the hill is the place to be. The view is spectacular. Highly recommend viewing the sunset here. There's not many places where the sunset looks like something in a painting but this is definitely one of them.

Living near this breathing space within ie is a relief for me. If you hike or bike on the trails, you'll find multiple natural treasures hidden within reach. Walking in the park on the weekend has become one of my favorite activities. Try to witness a sunset from the peak points.. it's breathtakingly beautiful

Wanting to check out "the best park to see a sunset from", I sped over here after my froyo stop at Canyon Crest Towne Centre. Flying up the hill to make it in time, I noticed people were jogging up the incline, which was substantial. As I flew past them, I thought "Yeah, I set my treadmill incline to 15... I'm just like you" There were so many people, yet I was fortunate enough to find street parking not too far away. I hightailed it to the top of the rolling hill just in time to snap a few photos before catching the money shot. Look for it at a Yelp listing near you. The park gave off a sense of community, with all the kids playing, and cursing, and flying kites, and playing softball. For a few minutes, I thought I was in Murrieta, which is what this park really reminded me of. But I didnt have much time to dally, as I was off to the next park to peruse and get my hoof on

Beautiful park with such gorgeous scenic views. Stopped by one day with some people just because, and wow, it's such a pretty little area. You can see basically all of Riverside from there. I heard on Fourth of July, you can see fireworks from three different places if you go on the hill. They also have a little playground for the kiddos and a lovely gazebo/wooden trellis with climbing vines area.

This is my new favorite hiking spot; there are multiple trails some steper than others so there is a little something for beginner to intermediate hikers. This is a good place to take pictures as well. I think I can manage to start from the trailhead and hike my way to Sycamore highland Park and back in less than an hour

View from the basketball court at sunset

Greatest spot in the IE for sunsets, picnics, exercising and outdoor fun with the family. The absolute CLEANEST park I've ever been to with a great and safe neighborhood surrounding area. Very quiet place to be if you're looking for a place to meditate or think. Not much of a place to hike like Mt. Rubidoux but more family oriented. Have grills for outdoor bbq, 2 basketball courts, softball/baseball field at least 15 picnic tables and even more benches. Slides and swings available for the kids!

Kim L.

I can't think of a better place to spend an afternoon. There is a beautiful park for kids, a basketball court, baseball field, plenty of picnic tables and benches, and nearby hiking and biking trails. The landscaping is lush and well maintained. There are always people there, from families enjoying the a day out with the kids to couples enjoying the stunning views to hikers and bikers tackling the challenging trails in the adjacent Sycamore Canyon Wilderness Park. It's a great place to bring your four-legged family members as well. The panoramic views of the valley are breathtaking. The sunset views are amazing. I feel so fortunate that this is so close to where I live. It's a little piece of heaven in the middle of Riverside!

I get the best photos here! I was taken on a date at night and nothing compares to that view of Riverside!

Venai P.

I love going here for dates, picnics, photo shoots and I would love to hike here. It's super clean and over all a beautiful place. It's real hidden but it's worth the drive!

When I attended UC Riverside, this was one of my favorite spots to go hang out with friends or do some work. This place has one of the best views of the city, yet very peaceful. A lot of people like to bring their dogs here or plan picnics/gatherings. There is a little playground with a basketball court that people usually play on. If you walk up the hill a little bit, there's a gazebo with tables and benches for people to sit on or hang around. My friends and I liked to do our school work here while watching the sunset. Some of my fondest memories were spent at Sycamore Park and I love going every time I'm back in Riverside. The park is part of a neighborhood, so there's some street parking, but be mindful of the area. It's never been extremely crowded when I've gone, but there has been a few times that parking was limited. Overall, a great place to spend the day with your friends or family and catch the sunrise/sunset. read more

I went to sycamore highland park tonight to have a picnic with my friend. We brought all of our materials such as a comforter and food/drinks and set it down so we can see the lovely view. The view looked amazing as the sun was setting! We had to leave soon though because the sprinklers came on at about 8:00 (shortly after sunset). We moved to the bench which wasn't bad bc it was facing the view. We then saw a group of young men shining their flash lights in the grass and saw a RATTLESNAKE in the grass!!!!!!!!! As soon as we saw that it was slithering around 10 feet away from us we decided it'd be best to leave the park entirely bc we didn't feel safe! We were extremely close to the spot the snake was in in the grass where we set our picnic up. This was such a close call. I wouldn't recommend going to this park at night even if you're sitting/standing on the sidewalk bc rattlesnakes can move extremely fast. It's sad because this park has such a nice view of the mountains and lights. It's safest to go during the day and stay out of the grass. read more

Mostly a nice place. As per parks and rec, you can't rent any spaces (it's a small park). Unfortunately, a lot of people chose to violate this policy. I have seen pinatas destroyed, dog waste bags used to collect candy (ugh...), parties not cleaned up after (smashed cake everywhere), dog owners who refuse to clean up their dog's waste (there are free dog bags provided), vandalism (in progress and the aftermath), people who set up tables/chairs blocking the only walking/stroller path, countless beer bottles left wherever, and so many people smoking marijuana near kids playing i've lost count. Oh, I almost forgot about the person who was firing a weapon (not a joke). This park is nice at only certain times of the day, and only when it is recently cleaned up. Btw you can't bbq here (some person posted some false info). Picnics are a great choice here though. read more

Picture perfect paths wander around the highland gardens as dilligent fastwalkers whip by. Access to the Sycamore Canyon Wilderness area can be found at the west end for the more rugged.

There are a lot of places to have picnics since they have numerous amounts of tables. There is a great view on top of the hills.

I didn't see any events going on, so I'm not sure what was up with that. There's plenty of parking along the street as well. The bathroom facilities are top-notch. Very clean and stocked well. Even had soap and warm water. There was an air show going on at the local airport, so it was cool to visit here for a bit and catch some of the planes as they were flying by.

Riverwalk Parkway

The Riverwalk Parkway is so cute! It's perfect for walks, jogs, and bike riding. It's nice to be…read moreoutside and see nature. It's so convenient for me, and it's almost like I'm not in the city (until I have to cross the street) because of how serene it is. I like taking the time to watch the birds and turtles. The plants and flowers are beautiful as well. River Walk Trail spans for about 3 miles, so it's perfect for some outside time to get steps and take your kids or dog out to roam. The only downside is if you don't live nearby, there's nowhere to park unless you use a nearby shopping center parking lot. There are also no restrooms other than in the businesses on the opposite side of the street. Part of the trail is in a residential area, so you may need to plan ahead, especially if you have small children with you who may need to use the restroom frequently.

Perfect spots to take photos around the area not as crowded as other parks u can really find any…read morespot around riverwalk to take photos

Arlington Heights Sports Park

We came here for the first time for the AYSO Locomotion tournament. Parking is a nightmare with…read moremost vehicles double parked waiting for stalls and so many cars illegally parked in fire lanes. There was overflowing trash cans in every area, trash all over the fields and nobody from the city clearing anything out. None of the porta potties had water in the hand washing stations first thing Sunday morning, also the fields are in bad shape with dangerous divots/holes and uneven playing surfaces. Yes, it's conveniently located next to many shopping centers and eateries, but in no way would I make this the main hub field for all future tournaments. I didn't like the fact that each field was separated by a road or parking lot as vehicles impatiently speed thru making it dangerous for the kids, definitely one of the worst fields/parks we have been to play soccer at over many years.

Fist time visiting this sports park. Of course it was one of the hottest days of the year on Sunday…read moreso needless to say it was miserable sitting in the heat watching a scrimmage bb game but there are plenty of trees so that made it very nice. There are picnic tables where you can sit. And there is plenty of parking!

California Citrus State Historic Park

California Citrus State Historic Park is located in Riverside off of Van Buren Blvd. I have driven…read moreby here many times and this time I got to visit here as there was an event going on. The park preserves citrus groves (lots of acres here) and has historic exhibits displayed that tell stories of how citrus shaped the region's economy and culture. I really liked reading all the posters and learning about the history here ar this historic park. Who knew there was so many info about various citrus and their stages. You also have the option to wander through the orchards which was nice and relaxing and I love the fresh citrus smells! There's ample on-site parking and a designated lot where you pay $5 per vehicle for parking. As this was an event, the entrace fee coverend the parking fee so that was a nice bonus. Admission fee to the park and its visitor center/museum is free. There are also free guided grove tours on weekends to learn even more about citrus history.

Very informative. Displys and video are interesting. Orangevtree varieties are many…read more Staff are very courteous and helpful.

You can now walk from Eastvale Community Park at Hamner through River Walk Park and down to Archibald, a total round trip of 5.2 miles. Unfortunately, there has been so many kids out there racing E-bikes during the past year it is getting increasingly difficult to safely take a walk with my dog along this trail. Recently JCSD has put up 20 miles per hour speed limit signs that say yield to pedestrians and some mirrors to help see around sharp turns. 20 mile per hour speed limit might be an okay speed limit on the straight parts of the trail, but 20 miles per hour isn't at all safe around the sharp turns. I have had to jump in the bushes and pull my dog off the trail several times from E-bikes racing around a curve in the trail.

One of my favorite trials! Peaceful and a great opportunity to get over 8k steps. Tip the restroom…read moreis at the community park if you want to avoid the portable bathrooms

This place is for you, if you wanna spend some time in the nature, have some fresh air and relax. I spent a great Sunday with my family in this park. You can play baseball, football or any other sport that could be played on the open area. Surprisingly but it is very quiet there. The view of the sunset is just unforgettable!!! read more
