Great multi use space. River has a stretch of sand, there’s a big off leash dog park and the entire area is dog friendly. Just keep an eye on your dog and make sure he or she is well behaved and leaving people alone

Lots of sand for my daughter to play in. Trail along the river was pretty good.

Great place to start your river run. Can run between 7 and 12 miles depending on which bridge you cross the river

Questions & Answers

Can you swim ? I saw a couple people's reviews about swimming but not enough to be sure if it's safe, is it legally allowed to swim here?

Is there a place with leashed dogs? I really dont like when unleashed dogs just run at my leash pup and then owners make it seem as my fault for retaliation. I am talking about a signed leash enforced area.

Cammy Lauderback | Jul 25, 2018
Sarah Sheehan | Jul 26, 2018

No. There are lovely waterfront walking paths that are posted as leash only, and the posted area to go without leash is NOT fenced, but every dog owner we've encountered has been friendly and understanding, even around our rambunctious pup.

Highly doubt it given how dry it is and that it's in the city.

I personally wouldn't get in the water here but dogs and kayaks were plenty on my last visit. As was a older couple swimming but it's a chill spot.

Nothing that I know of,but in August it's Sunday in the park the first Sunday in August.

Are you able to fish there?

Nataisa Jones | Jul 26, 2019

Yes I do see people fishing. Sometimes off the boat dock and sometimes just on the side of the river.

In the summer this park smells SO BAD. There are so many bad smells going on at once—wet dogs, rotting dog feces, brackish pools of puddle water—I can’t believe anyone is able to be here longer than ten minutes.

Along the water, smells happen with season changes. Nature. It’s a natural phenom.😊
