Great place to enjoy the quiet and watch the river. Theres a small dock like structure to get you closer to the water and there are a few cool swing benches near the outer path. Theres also a park with childrens play equipment and an under-roof sitting area with picnic tables.

I grew up in Anoka, it has changed a lot. Riverside Park with the pavilion is better than ever. The walking paths are great. So nice Anoka was able to retain this for the city. The grass is so green and the whole place is so well maintained. Some street parking, there is a free parking garage a short distance away. Lots of dogs and people walking even on this very cloudy afternoon. The Rum River is right there, you can get right down to it. They have a wood observation deck that goes right over the river, handicap accessible too. Stop on Main Street and get something to eat while you are there. 2 Scoops ice cream is just a short walk away. This is a great part of the charm of small town living. Treat yourself.

Nice walk with a lot of historical information on the plaques along the trail. I met some really nice people who were fishing. Only negative is the emo looking teenagers in the tunnel smoking cigarettes and using filthy language.

A wonderful little gem of a park located right outside of downtown. A lovely length of walking paths that follows the Rum River through Anoka. Plenty of shade and lots of places to sit down and enjoy the atmosphere. As an added bonus, there is a delicious ice cream shop within walking distance!

Nice park with trails along the river. Would get 5 stars if people would stop feeding the ducks which poop all over.

I really like taking my kids here to play and the neighborhood is filled with friendly faces. However, be causious about letting your kids play here as i found a hyperdermic syringe on the play ground the other day or rather my daughter did thankfully she didnt touch it and came abd hot me right away. So i urge you to check pkay ground before letting kids play. I also love this area for pokemon hunting.

This is a pretty great park if you live nearby. If your not local you don’t have to bother to come here instead go to peninsula point park or lake George. But otherwise if your a local this is an awesome park for walking or biking because there’s a trail that goes right through the park. This park does have a structure and a really small playground. But this park lacks space for activities because the park is basically a hill. Pretty good views in this park of the rum river and there is a walking bridge near the park that goes across the river. This park has a lot of ducks at it and there fun to chase. But if you don’t want to chase you can feed them instead. Also a lot of squirrels in the park but you can’t get anywhere near them or they’ll run up a tree. Overall this is a nice park for walking or biking but not actives or sports. Bit if your from out of town don’t bother it’s not that interesting this park is more meant for the locals.

Apparently John is not a resident but i live 1.5 blocks away, I was in the park chilling and a biker that I passed 20 minutes earlier passed by me at a table in the shelter, being suspicious of me. That was enough to make me comfortable knowing that the residents in the area are safety oriented. i am disabled and caring people in the area are abundant. 5 stars
