Along the Chicago River and the fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River. The restoration along the East bank by the Army Corps of Engineers laid down new river trails and resting spots to view wildlife habitats of the Great Blue Herons in the river, Black-Crowned Heron in the trees, Double-Crested Cormorants and more. The new walking and biking trails connect to Ronan Park and Legion Park. There are hundreds of trees too in almost 29 acres, like the very interesting Scots Pine. They have all the amenities you’d expect, like 7 tennis courts, 2 baseball fields, playgrounds, a field house but also includes a canoe launch, swimming pool, an interactive water playground, artificial turf soccer field, running track, a soft-surface playground, and a community garden. This is a park that has it all!

Love this park. Great for a picnic even with all the pandemic. Plenty of space the distance from everyone else, and still find shade under a tree. Play Grounds was pretty empty last time we went, in the same box as well. Pool and splash pad remain closed still.

This park feels like theres alot of under utilized space. They do have great tennis courts and an awesome baseball field. Parking seems to be fantastic and it has accessible bike racks and a divvy station.I dont think there is anyone taking care of the park though. It looks un-maintained. Theres leaves all over the place and downed branches.But it looks like theyre looking for the budget to really build things. I hope they do it soon!

This park is so luscious...green and vibrant! The trail enhances the topography of the land it sits on. Its nice to take in the rushing water off the North Shore Channel. Its very well laid out. Just gorgeous.

I may be biased, but I love this park. The layout, amenities, and paths line the river. With just the perfect amount of tree coverage, this is a great spot for laying out a blanket, playing tennis or volleyball, riding, walking, running, or anything.There is enough space for everyone to do their own thing. Across the river, a track and turf field welcome any and all in need of a running surface or soccer pitch.It covers all bases, and I gotta say, it rules.

Ive been Fishing it all my life, well since 4 with My Grandfather. Now I bring my kids here. Its been reconstructed in 2018 to invite all to the water. Not just the angler motivated. I wish there were more trees, But in due time. Open, Peaceful and Beautiful right in the city. I dont even have to launch my kayak under bridges now. They have launches, Docks, Check it out.

Great park along the Chicago River with a field house, pool, bike path, soccer field, track, boat launch (for kayaks and canoes). Good spots for fishing, as well.

This is a beautiful park where the river splits. A lot of nature and people being respectful of social distancing.

Great bike path not over crowed and runs along the river all the way into the N.shore

This is a nice place to be active! Accessible kayak launch, busy water, but also other sports, including track and fishing. Something for all age groups. Meandering paths are nice for walking as well as bikes. Family area.

Went to River Park to fish the spillway where the North Branch of the Chicago River meets the North Shore Channel. While I didnt catch any fish, I was enthralled with the beauty of the park and the various other parks in the neighborhood. Definitely would recommend for a brisk jog/bike ride or for a romantic stroll.

Really nice park with tennis court, sand volleyball and a pool. There is a playground for kids that neat and tidy. Highly recommended

Great park to play with your young children, or put in/take out your canoe. Lovely views of the river and close to the Tap House which is decent place to grab drinks and food across the street just a minute away.

Its a great park walking trails, tenis courts, camps for base bill and good area to rest.

Very clean park. Good for joggers, walking, and other outside activities. Fishing could be better but they just redeveloped the riverside.

They have recently modified/cleaned up the park. Looks great & is more user friendly.

Tennis courts are nice and are usually easy to get one without waiting long.

Very clean park. Lots of options to stay active with plenty of walking room and lots of grassy area to picnic. Small fenced dog park, its either empty or very full.

They have done a nice job of renovating the landscape, nice little dog park and good river side trails.

Real nice place to relax, but due to it being near a hospital social distance is a must

Great trail if you want to go for a walk, run or bike ride. But if youre heading next to the river- there are no trees so theres no shade..bring sunblock!

Love how it looks like. My sons got to see s great blue heron.

Nice to have such a riverside park. People walk the trails ,boat, fish, nice to see it kept peacefull and tranquil.

Went on a Sunday.. Nice and quiet.. Fishing is decent. Everyone is minding their own business.

Nic elow key neighborhood park. Open atm, but must wear a mask.

The playground is a great place to meet up with kids of all ages; unfortunately, it is starting to show its age. Some pieces of equipment are beginning to rust, the sand volleyball court is almost as much grass as sand, and the benches have seen better days. Still wonderful for locals, not worth driving to.

Beautiful park, great to take walks through and bring the kids to.

Lovely trail w/ relaxing view of the river

Great escape from the city, in the city. Clean, safe, dog friendly, many amenities.

Never knew this place existed its so cool! I could sit here and watch the river run for hours

Amazing park! Clean and safe for everyone. Closes at 9:30pm.

Check this park for the running trail and bike trails. Definitely worth it if you want to have a picnic by the river. Just bring mosquito spray.

New renovated its looks great

Big cantina on Sundays, kids games suronded by people drinking beer all day, no parking near.

Great place to walk and the dog park is very friendly.

Nice spot to walk your dog on a hot summer day!

This park has tons to offer

Reconstruction of the park turned out great! But there still needs to be upkeep on the garbage.

An amazing oasis in the northside of chicago.

A good park for fishing, walking, biking, bbqing, tennis and general park activities.

Very big park, good to do whatever you want. Without being in close contact with people regarding the pandemic going on now.

Nice. Its a good spot where you can relax and enjoy the nature

First time here so close to home and discovered it during our quarentine on our daily rides,cant wait till this virus is over to enjoy our beautiful city again.

Awesome fenced & safe dog park. Water fountain for dogs in the dog park. Awesome playground for kids. Bathrooms always open which is nice. Cool splash pad for kids.

Beautiful nature in the city!

This is a great park with a lot of green space. The river trail here is great for running, cycling, walking and other exercise. Its nice and shady during the spring and summer and usually quiet during the winter. There are a few playgrounds for kids that have new equipment too. This is a great park that connects to other parks, but it doesnt get as much recognition as Lincoln Park or the Lakefront Tail.

Not bad for a park and to watch people play their tournaments. Need to have more seating areas though.

Another beautiful Chicago park

Really well tended gardens and paths.

Nice park, clean and lots of activities for the public.

Beautiful nature and a great spot to fish with your kids!

So the sprinkler and pool dont open until 11am. I wish I had known that before showing up at 9:30am. But at least theres an outdoor park.

Love the little nature trail here.

Love playing basketball here. Gym not that big but its great for a good hooping day. Nice clean facility.

Awesome fun park. The kids love it. The staff is great I. The building for classes. Could use more classes but it is a small park. I’ve done Birthday parties in the ballroom over the years bear in mind Sunday’s after noon are the only days to rent.

Great beach volley court

What a clean walk. My only issue is that there is only 1 trash can at the beginning and end of the trail, but thats just me hehe. The trail is great with plenty of free street parking all around!

Peaceful, newly redone green space on the far north side. Lots of families but still plenty of room to have a relaxing day. Street parking but there is also a nearby garage if it.is a busy weekend.

Nice trails, well maintained

Been coming here since I was a kid. So many memories

Great place to drink beer and per in the river

Nice walk,bike,jog path along the river

Big park for kids get fun

Love this place !!very quite neighborhood

Good dog park, pool, splashpad, baseball diamond and tennis courts. A really lovely place to walk around. Should be nicer once they finish restoration on the banks, theres some construction now on the west side of the park. And theres almost always a soccer game going at the field on the west side!

River Park has a decent, accessible bike path on Chicagos North side. There are nice views of the river, trees and foliage. Use caution because there are also a lot of walkers on the path.

You might make the trip all the way out on a Saturday only to see it’s closed up. Disappointing.

Nice neighborhood. Quality friends and a great time, Jon Lenart!

It great park

Lovely park. The staff are friendly and helpful. It is a great place to cool down in the summer, with a pool and splash pad, and the playground has moderate shade making it possible to play most of the year.

Nice to run! Good field house and it also has a dog park, pool, little water play area for kids and a pool.

Too many people riding bikes around the track and making it hard to do workouts

As part of the community service team I helped pick up garbage. They have a great dog park for your fur babies!

First time back today since I was a kid. Brought my granddaughter for her first pool swim. Nice, clean pool. Great park.

A georgous, well maintained, extemely welldesigned city park.

A magical park.

Beautiful park along the river. Immaculate tennis courts. Movie in the park in the summer.

Best place for play with our children, clean and safe

Nice and quiet in the morning

Lovely park in the east bank of the chicago River. Plenty of old trees a medium sized playground a pool and a splash pad. My favorite park nearby.

Great park. The playground on the north east side (across from galter) is great for little kids since it has rubber ground instead of wood chips. Lots of swings and climbing structures for different ages. Lots of big, shady trees

Nice playground with modern activities. A little close to a street for my taste. But lots of open field on the other side for those kids who like to run.

River Park is a wonderful asset to the neighborhood. Its got something for everyone: bike trails, a pool and kids water area, a place for dogs, tennis courts, and lots of space to run or play sports.

Very good nice quiet plenty of shades. Spacious play ground for the kidsOne negative bathrooms close too early at 4pm but would recommend.

The facelift done over the summer gave it a new atmosphere.

Has a pool, tennis courts, dog park and a running path. Really nice local park.

Its great and romantic if you make it that way. The pool here is great and the kids in there barely pee. The bathrooms arent the best. And if you like wildlife you can find it here one time on my way exiting this place I say a deer that had escaped from somewhere but it was still cool there are also geese here that visit from the near river. There is also a public track and field place here if your looking to have a jog.

Pretty good place to be in the day. The track, playground, river etc. is all good. Watch out for gang activity at night though. The nearby area aint as nice as the park.

Once area good soccer field and track paths and natural settings

Nice park! They have done a lot of work and are continuing to do so. Great area for any activities.

Went fishing there. Good place to relax

Quiet place!!!

Great neighborhood park. Tennis courts, as well as a pool. Nice little park with swings and lots of other rides for the kids.

The park is nice, some areas need some TLC but other than that it is a nice park, sundays are over busy with parties and barbeque but other than that week days are good to bring the kids to play in the park and go for a bike ride.

Nice, peaceful, alot of animal to see. Child friendly.

Im completely unsure of why Im posting a review for a park but here you go. Its an adequate Park to walk my dog in. Theres a very small dog park that can be good and bad all at the same time. Theres a pool there if you have kids and tennis courts and so on. Not sure what else I need to tell you I believe they have some trees possibly some grass theres a playground there lots of cement I mean a lot. Im pretty sure you get the picture here

Fantastic running path along river, very shady, many water fountains.

Beautiful park with tons to do! Very Family Friendly!!

I love it!

Beautiful park.
