Woodruff Riverfront Park is located on the Chattahoochee River in Uptown Columbus. There are spouting water features in the park and beautiful green space.

Love this park! I walked my dog here a lot in the summertime when the bugs were bad everywhere else and they obviously do a very good job of treating for pests because I didnt get bit by a mosquito even once! Kaiser loves seeing all the new people here and getting to run around on the rocky areas! We took pictures on the little peninsula area made of rocks and theyre some of the best pictures Ive ever gotten of my beautiful baby boy ️

Nice scenic view of the river. Well light for a night walk. Family appropriate, but everyone enjoying walking, sitting, the park, food, and access to the water too. There is an island, but it was locked by a gate to cross the bridge (night hours). The old water mill and dam along pathway on walk. There were frogs on the sidewalk... Shined phone flashlight in eyes and petted a few of them

Great place to go for the day. Parking is horrible unless you like to fork out the cash for the nearby parking lots. If not youll need to go to the next block over and hope to find a spot then get your walking shoes on.

This place is so beautiful! People not only can enjoy the view of this beautiful area but also they can cross the river on a zip line or have a nice ride on a draft boat. There is also a playground area for the kids.

This is the place to walk along the river. Great for families and walking. Their are a few pesky mosquitoes. It is a little difficult to see for people with low vision, so be aware of possible tripping hazards if you have a family member that has low vision.

Really lovely. The development along the River is so impressive. I know this area is the gem of Columbus. Enjoy Downtown and stay there too. The people planning the area along the River are dutiful and want you to have a great experience for you, family and all ages. How nice this is to have in West Georgia

This area is really nice and clean. Columbus has really cleaned this area up and made it into a tourist spot. There is quite a bit of history to this area and the sights are beautiful.

Beautiful River Walk! So much to do here! River rafting, zip line across the Chattahoochee River, splash pad & playground for the kids. Theres also a great variety of restaurants and shops within walking distance. Many events are scheduled throughout the year, also Columbus State University has their theater located here, we enjoy going to see a show now and then.

Excellent park. This place is always clean. I like the passed ground. Having a two year old I dont have to worry about him getting hurt if he falls. He also loves the splash pad and walking down to the river and watching the rafters and zip liners. Wish the parking was better though

Great place for kids. It is a hands on educational platform for musical endeavors and all sorts of slides and a water pad. There is a zipline for older people and whitewater rafting. There are sometimes other varied programs that you can attend.

I loved taking my family here. It was nice to walk next to the river and enjoy the scenery. There is also a zip line and ropes course here that is not very expensive. You can buy tickets at the water rafting rental store.

They have done a great job turning an industrial area into a recreation area. Plenty of parking and great viewpoints along the way.

Review №45

The main areas of the park are nice and well maintained. I enjoyed riding along the river. We rode 7 miles and the path was mostly flat. There was a few areas where trash was piling up and it looked like people were dumping trash in one spot. The trail signs were dirt and hard to read. Also there were lights that had fallen over. Definitely needs some upkeep along the trail.

This was a stop for the Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club during our visit here in Phenix City. The Bikes on Broadway @ CSU 2018 was nice. The park itself is a family outing spot which on point.

Beautiful park! My family has a great time everytime. The splash pad is big enough for a ton of kids, as is the connecting playground. Theres ample shade. We put a blanket out under a tree and picnicked all day! THE ONLY DOWNSIDE, WAS THE SMOKERS. Smoked on the playground and it blew in our faces a lot.

Great park with a scenic view. It is a safe place to take your family and let the kids have a good time. Several playground set ups for all ages. Soft ground in case of falls.

It just the most beautiful site to see. Especially when the fall season begins to kick off and the leaves are different colors and falling out of trees. #New Beginnings /New Year

Playground is great but gets to hot to play on. My kids lover walking up the river to the island and watching the white water express groups come down. The whole stretch is just beautiful and a must visit if you come to the area.

This is a beautiful park for everyone to enjoy! Whether you want to throw a blanket out and just people watch or if you want to fish, you can. The kids have a cool, interactive playground and a very popular splash pad (for the grown kids also!)!! There is always something going on here that is fun! Try it, you will love it!!!

Loved this park. Water views were amazing. Playground was awesome and great from toddler to preteen. Sidewalks are good for bikes and skating. Spray ground is a bit small but sufficient.Four stars because parking is very limited.

Beautiful park. Lovely place to enjoy the spectacular views and watch the white watercrafts go by on their adventure. Be sure to read the rules and precautions. The river is beautiful but dangerous. Enjoy but be smart too.

Except for the steep steps, this makes up a huge part of the beauty of Columbus Ga. Walking, fishing, bike riding, whitewater rafting, zip lines, kayaking and kayak rentals, playground, picnic area and a huge splash pad to cool off! Theres something for everyone to enjoy!

Joined my 5 yr old nephew and brother on their day of fun at the splash pad and playground. They have a neat music area with drums, etc. Seems like all age groups were covered in my opinion. We watched people do the zipline across the river too (really cool). The only draw back I saw was that there was nowhere to buy refreshments for our Lil ones. But you can always bring your own bottled waters, etc. Nice and clean environment. Later we visited an ice cream parlor a few blocks up the road that sells by the ounce with all kinds of weird toppings. It was delicious.

This downtown Riverfront is awesome, on a beautiful day you can enjoy the entire area around you. Store fronts for shopping, restaurants, walking, biking, ziplining, boating, rafting & other water activities. I loved the trail that leads almost around the waterfront & very active. Two thumbs up!

We just love wood that is ruff and gorgeous views both available in plenty at woodruff park. We took a short stroll as we came in at sunset two dogs who wondered where we may wonder tails wagging .Our questions answered and our curious canine condundrum solved we watched the sunset together a great spot for any date .

Great park to bring your little one. All ages were represented. Bring sunscreen as this is an open area playground. The only thing we would have enjoyed seeing would have been a mesh (of sort) railing tracing the park on the river side. We did not see a bathroom or water fountain but we were not searching for them.
