    Located in the recreated Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA, this riverfront park fronts the north bank of the Wenatchee River. It has a public restroom, off road parking, and a decent size flat sand beach for lounging. The river is wide and deep enough for kayaks to float on by with ease. It is very close (walking distance) from downtown Leavenworth and worth a visit just to see the scenery, even for a moment.

    This park is one of my favorite parts of Leavenworth and especially if I'm with someone who is visiting for the first time. It makes for a nice stroll after lunch since it's within walking distance from downtown Leavenworth. There is a parking lot located on the northern side of the park on Main Street. Hiking trails span all across the park and along the Wenatchee River. There's also a playground for the kids in the middle of all of it. One of my favorite parts of the park is a little opening that leads to the edge of the water with amazing views of the river, the trees, and the mountains in the background. This is definitely one of those attractions that are a must-visit in Leavenworth.

    A nice little side excursion just a short walk out of Leavenworth will give a surprising added bonus to the town. Leavenworth, usually teaming with people and all the going-ons, Waterfront Park is the opposite. Though there may be people walking sometimes with their doggo friends, its peaceful and scenic. Right within the Wenatchee River the sights are beautiful along with the sounds of the river going. You'd think such a place would require a long walk or drive would be in order to get here, but no just outside of town Waterfront Park is there. Plenty of openings and spots with terrific views to stop and appreciate or take some nice photos, including a bridge several feet above the river. Along the trails and around the park there are conservation and information signs which are always appreciated to give a little detail about what you are looking at, what swims in the waters and remind you to be careful and conscious of the wildlife. While we're enjoy the nature, we must be reminded that this is home to the life there. Doing a little research, a generous benefactor whose Plack is seen upon entering the park allowed for the park to have passive recreations - these as mentioned are the sitting area, trails, play area for kids among other things. Take a stroll through Riverfront Park while you're in Leavenworth.

    This is a great park to spend some time in after strolling through downtown Leavenworth. It's pretty quiet and takes you along the river for which offers ample opportunity to explore. We enjoyed walking here with our dogs. The location cannot beat in Leavenworth.

    We had a great time hiking here. As was written on Vacation Idea, this park is not far from downtown. Trail is easy and flat. Benches and restroom can be found. Interesting to find out that the trail leads to the resort where we stayed.

    Area above the playground. There is a fence between these areas.

    Covid-19 eta, January 2021. Great playground- it's a medium/large size playground, with good variety. Above the playground, during snow season fun area to sled and make snowmans. for young kids. Has parking lot- holds about 20 cars. Walkable from downtown Leavenworth. Perfect for my family and young kids to stretch and run. Nestled in a quiet area.

    We had the most peaceful and wonderful start to the day in this park a few steps from the charming downtown Leavenworth. This park felt more like a nature preserve or state park than your average community park. For example, along our journey, we spotted bear poop, sand cranes, plentiful shade and overgrowth, historical and nature markers and simple pebble beaches along the clear river water. We especially loved seeing how clear the river was and the sign of this community's history in the logging industry (through logs floating along the river). This park also boasts a small island, a few bridges, a pump (bike) park, soccer field and children's playscape. The trails are well marked and you can access all of the park for free. A must-visit while in Leavenworth- a true treasure.

    Be sure to check out this park during your visit at Leavenworth! A trail runs alongside the Wenatchee River and connects to a loop on Blackbird Island. You can even go down to the riverbank or stay on the path for a stroll through the forests and views of the mountains. Winter time offers a different scenery that is beautiful in its own way when everything is covered in snow. It isn't filled with the usual park attractions, but summertime does offer water activities such as paddling and tubing. If walking, the entrances are all a short distance from downtown; otherwise a parking lot is available.

    Cute walk that is KID FRIENDLY. Right off of downtown so went on this easy hike to burn off the food we ate for lunch. Packed so bring your masks!

    Lovely, as usual . . . This is a go-to stop for me when in Leavenworth. Parking is available on the east side of the park, it's a very short walk from downtown or you can access it from the Enchantment Park complex . . . If you hit the trails right you can get over two miles in without repeating trails too much. Lots of picture potential as well . . .

    Really nice little stroll for families. You are surrounded by mountains and streams and this is a nice walk that takes you through the scenery

    Playground
    Michael T.

    Playground is a big win. If going to the playground it can be easier to drive, but the walk wasn't bad with a stroller or wagon. You can see it as you look down from the main downtown area to the park. New, clean, bathrooms were closed but honey buckets were open, good enough!

    This park is so beautiful. ITS IN MY TOP 50 I spend a lot of time at parks. With my great grand kids. MY GRANDSON. MY SWEET SWEET BOY IS GETTING MARRIED! In two months. He told me it was the engagement party. It wasn't the engagement party. IT WAS THE BACHELOR PARTY! my sweet boys invited me to come along (the only lady around) because I am a true American who speaks my mind. Anyways THE PARK is beautiful. It has water front and there were a bunch of college guys there. They wouldn't stop yelling SATURDAYS ARE FOR THE BOYS and shotgunning beers. I just learned that. They were all very good looking except for a chubby redhead with curly hair. That fatty could really take in the cruisers though. Big time. There is plenty of parking and usually people there wth they're dog dogs on the water. This place is good for dogs probably not for cats of any variety. Except for me. I couldn't find the bathroom but I was told there are facilities here. I just decided to improvise my pop secret. I wouldn't recommend swimming in the main river the water moves quite fast. I didn't go in because my scooter got stuck and my grandsons pretty much left me for dead. They are still upset I voted for trump. I actually didn't have a good time here but I imagine other would. Say goodbye in German language. Goodbye. By

    We were looking for a fun adventure that the whole family could enjoy. My son had just turned 10…read moreand wanted to take one of his school buddies with him. We read the reviews online and called them to book our adventure. We were treated with kindness and respect from the time that we got there. We signed the requisite waivers and were told that the rapids head tamed down to class three which was very manageable and safe for the family. They outfit you with wet suits and boots and it's suggested that you bring your own hats, sunglasses and sunscreen. Our guy took the time to get to know all the folks that were in our group and arranged us in the raft, according to our age and abilities. My son and his friend sat towards the back of the raft, which turned out to be the safest and driest location. After a short walk-through of expectations and paddling instruction, we got underway. Smooth sailing for the 1st mile or so, and then we hit our first group of rapids. The guy did an outstanding job of keeping us afloat and telling us which side to paddle aggressively, and which side to back off on. Throughout the day, this continued and we hit several more aggressive rapids that were challenging, but a lot of fun. Photographers are located throughout the course and will get some great pictures of your group as you head down the river. They are available for purchase at the end. Overall, a great experience and a great day with osprey rafting company. Highly recommended!

    After stopping at two of the ski/snowboard rental options in town, we decided to check out Osprey…read more Fantastic customer service and great prices. My family and I were treated with respect and attention to detail in the customer service received was excellent, even going out of their way to place phone calls to verify operation hours for the day for us on the hill. We will definitely recommend this location to all of our family and friends and will be stopping by again next time we are in the area. They do rental tubings in the summer to River flow and snow supplies in the winter for the nearby ski hill.
