Formerly, this site was home to White River Elementary School, which was later renamed Phoenix School.

The park features a playground with multiple slides, swings, bridges, firemen poles, monkey bars, and a climbing wall. Adjacent to the playground is a splash pad, which operates from Memorial Day through Labor Day, providing a cool respite during hot summer months.

A large, grassy open field is available for various activities such as soccer or football. Basketball enthusiasts can enjoy the park's basketball courts.

Riverwood Park serves as the home field for Bishop Chatard High School's lacrosse and soccer teams.

Visitor Information

Visitors should note that shade is limited near the playground and splash pad areas. The restroom facilities and drinking fountains are located at a distance from these areas, so planning accordingly is advisable for families with young children.
