Central Riverside Park

Love this park! I have been going for 20 years. The geese are friendly and the water park is really refreshing in the summer. The nature exhibit has a range of wildlife. There are also walking paths along the river and throughout the park. The gazebo is especially beautiful. They also have bathrooms which is nice if you bring your little ones to the playground.

This is a nice little park with restrooms and a water area where kids were playing when I visited. Great for a easy walk or to just relax. I visited because I was interested in checking out the Mini Stonehenge Astrological Calendar. It’s small but it was still neat to look at.

Nice rock and paved walkways. Kids play area with a water play area. Great for Pokémon. Could use a bit more tree maintenance but otherwise very good overall maintenance by the city. Picnic tables on one section.

We had a great time visiting family, but it was a hot day and there was no drinking fountains or working bathrooms. They had a port-a-potty sitting out by the bathroom ,ugh no thank you. The water splash pad wasn't on either.

Very nice park during the daytime, but at night I wouldn't recommend it. The gazebo (when clear of homeless encampment) is super nice with a tiny pond next to it is a great location for photos. The park overall has lots of great photo spots throughout the year. The playground itself is very large, well kept and not far from BBQ table areas. Tons of shade and the Arkansas river is near by. Depending on where you park, near the turnabout, there's a small zoo with a great staff that's free if you want to see the local wildlife. Definitely worth a tour or two. Also a ton of Pokemon gyms in the area with lots of stops. Lastly, at night... I work nearby the locations and it's a whole different environment. Firearms are discharged a lot, creepy and sketchy people use the park for their activities at night. A noticeable amount of crime or fleeing crime has turned the area at night into a real "at your own risk" spot. And with the lack of bright lights it will likely continue.
