Riverside Park

If you’re looking for a park where you can actually spend a full day without running out of things to do, this is it. The bike track and walking paths wind along the Grand River, and there’s enough open grass to kick a ball around or just let the kids burn off energy without bumping into anyone. Shade trees and covered seating make it genuinely comfortable in summer — not just tolerable. Pack a cooler, grab one of the BBQ spots, and you’re set. Locals come back here week after week for good reason, and the place is kept up well enough that you won’t be disappointed.
