Riverwalk Parkway

My favorite hidden gem located in riverside off pierce and 91 fwy . Hubby and I love taking late night strolls here when walking our pup to the river walk dog park across the street . Love the scenery and pond in the middle of the park . Can't forget the many distinct pavilions and trees. No seating area is offered here but great for pictures and a relaxing atmosphere. The pond is a bit dirty at times due to excess algae due to the marine life . Nevertheless a nice neighborhood to check out . Starbucks next door and eateries near are an added plus to a perfect date ! Parking isn't offered here , you will have to park nearby or street parking but make sure to read signs to avoid hefty tickets!

It's a cute little park to walk around, but there isn't a parking lot or restrooms. Also be on the lookout, as lots of homeless sleep at this park. I loved to come here to bird watch & take pictures of the bright colored flowers that bloom here.

Visited on: 3/14/2021 & 4/18/2021The experience: it's a very nice area to come and just be in nature and observe the animals. There wasn't a bunch of people so no overcrowding - which was good. People that were there had on masks and/or were in compliance with social distancing. I enjoyed the Gazebo, the pounds and just the overall ambiance of this area. It was very tranquil, serene and relaxing! Would I recommend? Would I return? I would recommend this place to anyone who loves and appreciates animals and being in nature. I have been here twice and definitely will return.

Beautiful place for a night stroll. I noticed the river had trash stuck in it. What I could remove myself I did. I hope this place gets a good cleaning soon. I enjoyed bird watching and chatting with the ducks.

Riverwalk is beautiful. It is located right off of the 91 freeway at Pierce Street. The Riverwalk park runs along the road and winds through under a mostly tree covered path. It is accompanied by beautiful ponds with hungry ducks. Riverwalk is a quiet and peaceful place to walk and sit along the ponds. People will bring dogs to walk along, and there is a dog park right across the way not far from Riverwalk. Very pretty and a great way to get outside and enjoy nature. Even though it is close to the freeway and street, it is still quiet and a tranquil place to find solitude and relaxation. Make sure you bring some bread crumbs for the duckies! I love coming here. I used to come a lot with one of my best friends and we would run around and feed the ducks. We even brought a blanket and had a picnic once and it was lovely.

I love going her for photoshoots! The park is kind of broken up into sections because of the streets, but each section looks like a completely different place. Picture erfect nature backdropsThe upkeep is amazing, I've never really seen any trash like other parks in Riverside that shall go unnamed. The part with the gazebo and all the ducks is usually the most crowded part of the park (if you consider like three families max, crowded), but if you're looking for peaceful and quiet, just walk further along the park. The more out you go, the less people you tend to see. Personally I see something new each time I go. I love this place because amidst the busy city and hectic lifestyles that brings, this is such a peaceful juxtaposition. While you're here you tend to not notice/hear/see all the cars on the main-street just next to you over the ledge. It's a beautiful spot and I am lucky to have found it one summer evening while driving around with some friends.

I needed a place to photograph my daughter. She is in her third trimester of pregnancy. Her first baby, my first grandchild. Awwww. We wanted to memorialize this new chapter in her life by going something special for pictures. I drive by this beltway often, but have never stopped. So now was the time.This is a narrow green-way that extends from the 91 Freeway, north for a mile or two, past La Sierra University until you almost reach Pierce Street. While not isolated (it closely parallels the roadway) it is slightly below street level so the sound of the incessant traffic is hardly noticeable.The land is transformed. It has no name, from what I can tell, but it represents a well planned idea. This stretch of public land has been tastefully landscaped into long stretches of easy walkways lined with mature plantings. You will cross over small bridges and stroll along gracious tree lined paths as you follow the man-made stream and ponds. Along the way you will discover lots of ducks, gazebos overlooking the ponds, and sandy and grassy playgrounds for the kids. This is a perfect place for jogging, bike riding, dog walking, bird watching, duck feeding, picnicking, and photographing. You may even see small children riding their bikes with their parents in tow, climbing and jumping on rocks, or dipping their toes in the slow flowing, shallow waters that dance around and over the rocks. You might even find yourself in the mood for some alone time, sitting and communing with nature. This is indeed a good place.Cars can park on the cross streets, try Collette Ave or Flat Rock Dr., as I could not find any parking designated for this delightful park that are on that side of the Riverwalk Parkway. However, there are clusters of industrial buildings that border this park on the east side, with plenty of parking nearby. Across the street on the west side, where Collette Ave. intersects Riverwalk Parkway you might park at the Riverwalk Dog Park. You could also look for the parking lots for Starbucks or further up around Carl's Jr. The payoff is a wonderful family and pet friendly belt of land that gives Riverwalk Parkway its honest name. Let's celebrate a great idea by visiting often.

Pure serenity a beautiful breathe taking view with ducks, turtles and fish. The landscaping is delightful and inviting. A pleasant place to unwind. Worth a stroll on a cloudly day.

I love walking my dogs here but lately there has been so many people fishing even though the signs clearly say no fishing. I had to pull a fishing hook out of my puppy's mouth the other day because they leave all their hooks everywhere. So dangerous

Beautiful walk and scenery. My husband and I live down the street and we enjoy the stroll.
