riverside park

Riverside Park holds many memories, from our boys playing baseball, slow pitch games and tournaments, to family get togethers. Riverside Park is beautiful, with many open areas, play areas, mature trees and evergreens. There are many nature paths to walk through the park and over the river. The playground is always a hit with the children in the warmer months. The bike adventure areas which are new are always busy. It is a lovely place to just sit and read under a tree, go fishing, hike, picnic. There are lovely gardens to wander through as well. This historic park - never gets old. Many events are held in the park as well, including fairs, Canada day celebrations, concerts. It is always nice to watch a ball game there, or watch nature. Got to love it !!

This is a nice place to visit in winter to see chickadees, cardinals and other small birds. Often people bring bird seed to place on the railings to attract them. You can access it from the parking lot behind the ball diamonds or cross over the pedestrian bridge from Russ Street across the river.

Lots of nice paths to follow, dog friendly (on lead), a nice view of the river. What more could you want? Picnic tables are there, baseball court as well. Probably lots more we didn't see as it's a large park. Parking is simple - Find a spot on the side and pull over :-)

Liked the friendliness of people there, and enjoyed watching people walking their dogs. Different foliage, and flowerbeds were really enjoyed.

Sunday was the mopst perfect day to spend at the park..... took a blanket, lunch and books and sat by the river.... the park was active at the front with families at the river and park area, small wadding pool for kids. The skatepark was a buzz with kids of all ages ..... men were playing ball in the back and fishermen (and women) all along the Grand ...... perfect day to spend at Riverside Park !

Riverside Park is a classic gem in the otherwise uninspiring area of Cambridge formerly known as Preston. There's something for all ages and it never feels crowded.

Have always enjoyed Riverside Park, but not as much as the geese, they're everywhere and so are they're droppings. Be prepared to burn the kids clothing and clean the car of goose droppings. Does have nice trails and splash park for younger children and a skate park for the teens.
