4 out of 5 stars only because the bathrooms are not as clean as they usually are, otherwise I would definitely give 5 stars because this is an amazing Park and see their family and kid oriented. I always enjoy coming here early in the morning because its peaceful, calm, not busy and just plain relaxing. This is a great Park to bring your kids turn around have fun or even just to bring you and your loved one to sit and relax got. And its even enjoyable to come alone just for some peace and quiet for some peace of mind. Thank you Hobby Hunter Park crew! This is by far my favorite Park in Riverside, as to date.

This is one of the Parks and Recreation gems here in Riverside, it is really an amazing place for some R & R with family, taking kids to the playground, play sports, walking, running, skating and any wholesome fun but what I love the most here is the little choochoo train rides and looking at the happy kids faces full with wonder...

Great park with lots of room to walk. The playground is updated for the kiddos. Unfortunately, there are a lot of folks living in their cars at the moment. However, they mind their business and dont bother anyone.

Looks like a nice clean park. We stopped here during COVID-19 to have a picnic in our car. There were lots of people there playing sports. We were here at lunchtime and the sprinklers are on so you can’t sit down on the grass. Bathrooms are available but I’m not sure if they were open. They seem to have quite a homeless problem at this park we saw many walk by as we picnicked in our car.

Nice open park setting with paths for walking or jogging. Has baseball fields set up and public restrooms. There’s also a basketball court. Plenty of grass area for use but not a surface that’s maintained well enough or intended for soccer, although I’ve seen pick up games there. There tends to be a lot of homeless people staying in their cars in the parking lot.

Great place to take the kids to play. Family cook out. Are what keeps me coming back. The little trains I think it 5 different one. Some how I would miss that 3 Saturday. But I all see them working on them on the week day. They keep them running for us. And these guys love the job and it shows

Hunter Park is a huge park and easy to navigate. There is more than one bathroom conviently located handicapped accessible. The parking lot is appropriately sized and in good view of the park. there are multiple baseball fields and a track around the park for walking. Theres also a small train that runs on holidays and for special occasions. Very clean. Five stars

I enjoy going here for my daily jogs. There is usually a good amount of people here in the evenings which makes me feel safer knowing Im not alone. This lark has long walking tracks throughout the whole park so it is definitely made into a nice park to walk around during the day

Im going to start by saying that Ill skip the obvious things that everyone else said already. We get it :)Lots of grass, great for dogs and walking, police come through the parking lot every time I go so I feel safe there, conveniently located near a grocery store, gas stations, and freeways, well lit some nights (I dont know what the schedule is about), lots of parking, entrances/exits on two different streets (it matters, trust me!), and so far all my little picnics here have been just fine. Be the change you wanna see!

Enough parking for the whole family. The only thing is that there is alot of homeless that are either in the restrooms or just layed out on the floor, and parking lots. Big enough field to play ball. Softball fields are empty sometimes. But when there is any kind of event there will not be any parking so try to get there early to get a spot for parking.

If your kids love old steam trains they will love this park. They have miniature trains they can ride for free and parents you can give a donation if you want them to continue this awesome tradition. Its a beautiful park with lots of space to just relax.

This park used to be nice until it became a campground for the homeless. Wish it could be a place familys could enjoy and feel safe. Instead the homeless leave their trash everywhere and could care less about society.

This place used to be a wasteland. It was fenced off, never watered . About 8 years ago the local government rehabilitated the area. Now it is a magnet to the community. Baseball, soccer,and other activities. The Parks and recs do a great job. -1 * THE TOILETS WERE CLOGGED, AND SMELLED.

Very nice park and honestly one of the best I have been too in a long time. My only complaint would be this creepy African American guy, who looked homeless, standing on the playground watching my kids. I really thought maybe I was crazy until another lady sitting in her car told me he was watching my kids. Parents do not leave your kids unattended especially the little ones.

Dropped a star. Last visit smelled of human waste in the parking lot. Maybe a one off but there were motorhomes and vehicles hanging out in a way suggesting their park visit is more long term than others.

Beautiful clean park with tons of space to bring your dog while your little one plays on the playground. Designated toddler playground built like a train, swings, basketball court, picnic tables and cute little horses. Oh and cant forget an adorable little rail road track, however no train was on there. Still highly recommend this park!

There are 6 or 7 ball fields so you can choose a baseball game or soccer. People have started a womens league mens Soccer & baseball play ground for children very handy restrooms.You just have to check it out for yourself. Weekends are the most lively they have a little train that gos all the way around the whole park and children can ride it free.

I used to go to this park all the time as a kid. Even before they had renovations to make it better. The open fields were always what brought people to the park. Not to mention that every other Sunday you can find a mini locomotive chugging around. Now they have all sorts of new additions such as good playsets, picnic tables for family events, basketball courts, better softball fields, and better upkeep. This park has always been an amazing place to spend time at and still is.

Beautiful park. There are so many beautiful trees, great for family photos. The trains are spectacular. They have conductors on certain weekends and as long as you wait in line, you can ride for free or with a donation. The kids love it and the train travels around the whole park, its about a 20 minute ride. Its educational and fun pls there is a great place to area.

Hunter Park has a miniature train that runs twice a month on a Sunday morning. Our children are older so we have never gone there for that, but it is a beautiful, well-maintained park with lights in the evening until 10pm; 4 basketball courts and two baseball/softball fields. Local homeless hangout sometimes but have never caused us problems. The beauty of the park Is a 5 star; the area makes me wish a 4 1/2 star was available!
