Riviera East Park

Incredible Park in an incredible neighborhood. I hidden gem across the street from a river access point. No public bathrooms so plan accordingly.LOCATION & ATMOSPHERE: Across from the river access point on Mira Del Rio Drive. Spacious open setup with trees lining the boundary and an open field large enough to play fetch with any size dog. Visited by friendly dog owners and families mostly.FOOD & DRINK: No food nearby. There are a couple of water fountains and the one near the basketball court has a doggy bowl attached to it.AMENITIES:-Large open field-Picnic tables-Tennis court with 2 nets-Basketball court with 2 goals-2 jungle gyms-Swing set with adult and toddler seats-Standalone book exchange-multiple trash cans-Sidewalks circling the interior of the park and leaving from one side to the other to separate entrancesEXPERIENCE: I love coming to this park. I walk my dog here daily and she has plenty of friends to play with and that huge open field. The neighbors are friendly and the families are fun. The kids are well behaved and there's so much to do and so much space at the park You can say hey passing by or avoid people all together just by choosing a direction to walk in.The park is well maintained by the recreational crew from the state. They come out in and pick up fallen debris from trees, and replace and replant trees. The trash cans are always emptied and there isn't a lot of trash around the park anyway. Randomly I'll see a plate or a can, but looks pretty pristine on the regular.The park is green year round and most of the trees maintain their leaves. The ones that do drop their leaves present the most beautiful fall colors. Making snow, I mean leaf angels is movie-like. The sidewalks that lead around the interior of the park wrapping the tennis court and leading from one side to the other are quite large. I'd say they were about three people wide if not for. You can walk with two people side by side and someone riding a bike past without any worry.Definitely an amenity of the neighborhood that is underrated and overlooked!Only true downfall is that this park doesn't have a bathroom. Could be five stars with that addition, but it's hard to stay here for a long period of time without the ability to relieve oneself.

Quiet, clean, and very balanced park. Good for toddler and kids. It's just hidden park but worth the quality. Felt safe.

It's a cute quiet park in a neighborhood. Went on a Sunday afternoon. There is an outdoor basketball court. A big kid playground and on the way other side is a toddler park with swings for big kids and baby's.

The 2 playgrounds (big kid and little kid) are on opposite ends of the park, which I found odd and a bit inconvenient. Both play structures were on the small side, but the big kid one was pretty tall. The grounds are quite large for a neighborhood park (website says 9 acres); plenty of room for frisbee or ball throwing or running around. Tennis courts, horseshoe pits, and basketball courts available, as well as several picnic tables around the grounds.Nice safe neighborhood. American River Bike Trail access point across the street.

Beautiful park. Only down side is there's no bathrooms :( full size basketball court. Tennis court. They have a playground for kiddos 8 & under I believe. Very fun park!

We have the Leash Law for dogs at all Sacramento County Parks. The Parks are for the public, and dog owners who take the leash off their dogs are violating the a law that protects the public, and that includes our children who don't know the dogs. Children are afraid of big or small dogs running loose!Dog's are strict liability and when deliberately taken off the leash can lead to legal suits and court actions. Early in our country horses, cows/cattle, bulls, big pigs would break out of their pens or weak/broken down enclosures and injure and sometimes kill persons and destroy property. Today, a dog off his leash can be a danger to others.In conclusion, the County of Sacramento invested significant money and land for a dog run on Bradshaw Road, but many people at Riviera East Park will not use the dog run and violate the Leash Law when they use the public park as a dog run
