This is a very nice park. They have a skate park for kids of all ages. There are multiple playgrounds and multiple bathrooms. You can walk from one end to the pier and marina at the other end. Really nice. Check it out, best of all its free to park, walk, and play!

Wow!!!! We absolutely loved the Riverwalk. There are many ways and places to sit, relax, and enjoy the beautiful views. There are so many things to do here along the river. Families walk along it, biking is nice, fishing, dog walking are all going on at the same time. There are beautiful murals depicting the history of Bradenton and the Manatee River. There are gardens to walk through, and signs to learn about the specific gardens. There is a beach volleyball area, a huge skate park, playground, splash pad, workout area, amphitheater, restaurants, statues, and a kayak launch area. Here is the best news, the city is going to expand the Riverwalk another mile and a half. Definitely cool!!!

My husband and I love going to the Riverwalk. We go there as much as we can. We love that it goes under the bridge to the marina side and especially to the Bishop plantitarium. Its a beautiful place to go. Its a definite must go to for anyone new to our area.

Lots of activities to do there. My wife and I went for a very long walk along the river. It was beautiful and relaxing. An exercise area for adults. A skateboard park that was under control from the kids. The kids were having a lot of fun skateboarding and biking. We entered by the hospital and walked for a long ways but we did not walk as far as the marinas and stuff. Thats another day for us Im sure we will enjoy. It was evening when we were there and was quite beautiful.

Feels like I haven’t been to the Riverwalk in forever! I enjoyed spending some time there and watching the sunset. It’s a perfect place to take a walk, feel the fresh air, and admire the nature.I admired how they had clear, clean sidewalks. There were several benches, seating was not an issue. The Riverwalk extends from the Green Bridge to the DeSoto bridge and a bit further. It has a skateboard park, a playground, and volleyball court. Great place to ride your bike or walk your dog. .

Such a beautiful Riverwalk. There are so many things along the walk to see and do. The walk has fun activities for kids, a skatepark, a volleyball court, and even a workout area. There are also piers to venture out on and plenty of places to sit and view the water. I highly recommend checking this place out if you are in the area.

This is a great place to have a party, play a game of volleyball, walk, bike, or picnic. It’s a newer park so some of the trails can be very sunny and hot in the summer, but as the trees establish it’ll cool off considerably.

Beautiful... peaceful...a great place for spending time with family & friends for a walk, jog, bike ride, trip to the skate OR splash park... check out some neat art exhibits along the riverside path...or stop at one of the restaurants, very close by for a meal!!Or for some quiet alone time... just to sit on a bench swing or in one of their outdoor living rooms...& stare into the Manatee River...to relax...meditate...or even bring your own device...connect to the FREE WI-FI & chill out

Went after midnight. Bathrooms open 24 hrs. For convenience. Well light areas. Lot of separated seating for romantic sitting talking double swings. Little kids playground. Very clean walkway. People were still out walking around. Have a very nice skateboard bike area for entertainment. Volleyball area also in the sand. Very well decorated area.

Riverwalk has something for everyone! A playground for the kids, sidewalks for walking trails, grassy areas for playing soccer or frisbee, plentiful seating, water park for the kids, and large restrooms. The park has always been very clean. A lovely and peaceful family oriented park.

What a lovely place! Had alot of fun walking along the river and taking in the fresh air, the view, and people watching. Lots to see and do while walking along the river. A nice skate park for roller blading, skateboards or whatever you want to roll on. Also had a play park for small children and art along the walkway including an outdoor amphitheatre for small concert events.

Review №25

This is a Bradenton must visit spot. A great spot to go for a run, check out the outdoor gym equipment, try your feet at the skateboard park, dig in with the sandy volley ball court, relax on the built in lounge chairs, let the little ones play at the playground, or just take in the wonderful view of the Manatee River.

Went for romantic anniversary dinner. Waited 45 mins for a table only to be sat at the vacant table we stared at for 45 next to the outside DJ. Explained to staff we looked at that vacant table for 45 mins and then you sat us there? Food mediocre - no management cared to come by. Go somewhere else

Absolutely loved this river walk! Frustrated it’s taken me so long to check it out, but stoked I finally did! This is an awesome place to go for locals and people just driving through. Make sure you don’t miss it! It’s literally like walking on the water, but with style.

Thoughtfully laid out with benches and swings as well as shade, points of interest and water views, this is a truly pleasant way to spend an hour strolling along the river downtown. If you start near the Police Station, there is an icecream shop to treat yourself when you finish you stroll. And watch for birds and fish....we lucked out and got a close up view of a dolphin.

My family and I had a nice quiet picnic here. We found a nice shared area to sit as we had our three month old daughter and our three year old daughter with us. Daddy was out chasing and running around with our three yr old in and out the splash park and all around. Our oldest daughter sure did keep Daddy on his toes and Mommy got to sit back relax and enjoy one on one mommy time with our three month old. The weather was perfect not overly hot but warm enough the sun shining bright the birds flying freely. It was truly the perfect family outing for us and I strongly recommend this place for other families to attend... We sure will do this again as a family

Great place for a walk along the river. Easy walk from Art Center Manatee or the Bishop Museum or downtown. I attended the High speed River Regatta and it was an awesome location to view the race from....During events they set up booths, food stands and trucks.

Review №86

This is a nice feature, but don’t drive too far to visit it. We stayed at a vacation home nearby and were able to walk to it. The playgrounds along it are quite nice but you’ll only do that if you have young kids.One big thing we didn’t realize before we visited - the Manatee River this Riverwalk is alongside isn’t nice. It’s murky water, very little boat traffic, and you won’t see any fish or manatees.We found more enjoyment in the things just OFF the Riverwalk - Pier 22, South Florida Museum and Aquarium, Old Main Street, Motorworks Brewery.

Great place to walk the dog. Beautiful views. Lots of enhancements such as the excersise equipment, multiple playgrounds for various ages, odd (but very cool!) walkways under the bridges, skate parks, concrete lounge chairs, cabana areas, volky ball, basketball, and the presence of security! Loved it. Its now a regular place for my walks!
