Riverdale Park

Sports Galore

Riverdale Park offers courts for pickleball, basketball, and sand volleyball that are well-maintained. The sand volleyball courts are in good condition, and the pickleball courts offer free open play during mornings and evenings - convenient for both early birds and after-work players.

The expansive grassy areas give you plenty of room to toss around a frisbee for ultimate frisbee games or practice your lacrosse skills. Whether you're serious about your sport or just looking for casual play, you'll find space here.

Kid-Friendly Fun

Got little ones in tow? The playground at Riverdale has equipment for kids of all ages. The soft sand is a hit with younger children - they can dig, build, and play to their heart's content in a safe environment.

The spacious picnic shelter makes this park ideal for birthday parties and family gatherings. It's roomy enough for larger get-togethers and can even accommodate inflatables for extra kid entertainment. If you prefer a more casual setup, just bring a blanket and enjoy a laid-back picnic on the grass.

Natural Beauty & Pathways

The park features a bridge that spans the river, offering nice views of the surrounding area. The wooded sections provide welcome shade in summer months and add a touch of wilderness to this city park.

If you're looking to extend your outdoor time, the park connects seamlessly to the city's recreation trail system. Regardless of whether you're on foot or wheels, you can easily transition from park hangout to an extended adventure on the bike trails.

Practical Perks

The restrooms are clean and well-maintained - always a plus for any park visit - and you can find good drinking water available too. Feel free to bring your own grill for a barbecue session in the designated areas.

Dog parents rejoice: the park is dog-friendly, so your furry family members can enjoy the outing as well.
