24/7 open beach made from the Colorado River in Yuma, Arizona. Perfect for cooling down from driving from the East Coast to the West Coast from the summer heat. Water is slightly warm we’re it touches the sunlight but still cold enough to enjoy... not sure how cold the water can get during winter in the area.

We are not from Yuma and stumbled upon this while traveling. Was a great little Park and some interesting history to boot. Theres also a small sand beach that looked to get quit a bit of use too. Quite a few people were playing in the water and floating for small distances. Great break from the high heat in the summer. Water looked only to be a few feet deep so no need to be a strong swimmer.

Plenty of parking, some shaded. Played in Colorado River with my kids, mostly shallow. Even with a lot of people on weekend, social distance was not an issue.

This place is so pretty! I drove from San Diego and got here right at golden hour, so I got go see the sunset here. I even got to see the train go by, so that was exciting for me. Really nice park!

Loved it. Though people are dirty they leave their trash everywhere. In the river. Of course no bathrooms are open and. Yup you guessed it. The thought of renting a Shade Booth is ridiculous, but I guess. Just needs a little more attention.

Fun bike ride from Gateway Park to the other parks. Trails go all the way through connecting several parks. Some nice ones along the river. Pretty level easy riding, you can go as fat as you want. Several lengths and options are available.

I dont know how to delete this or how it got labled Gateway Park.This was SUPPOSED to be a restaurant review!I would actually give Gateway Park 5 STARS!Its a bit of an odd place but the food was decent even though the service was pretty slow for an empty restaurant and a half full bar.Although, we had just blown into town and they were rolling up the proverbial sidewalks. Our waitress was very nice but it was obvious she wanted to get out of there so we felt a little rushed to finish up. They were still belly up to the bar as we exited though.

Review №31

Were always under the bridge because the sun moves a lot plus we have fewer people up by us compared to right on the river bank. People were jumping off the bridge this time around so I want to let you know that its illegal to jump from the bridges and you can be arrested for.

Review №51

Located along side the Colorado river and under the Ocean to Ocean bridge this park is a jewel for both tourists and locals to enjoy. Families can picnic at tables under the gazebos or in the sun. In this area you can swim in the river, fish, bike, kayak, or enjoy walking trails to the wetlands, or up to the historic interpretive plaques that explain the early days of Yumas history. You could spend and hour or a whole day, and it’s dog friendly as well! Yuma has turned an otherwise seedy area under the railroad tracks into something to be proud of. Great job!

This is a great park for the entire family! Clean and very well manicured landscaping. Its a perfect spot to grill or take the kiddos to the playground, also a great place to ride bikes, run or do a leisurely walk. Easily accessible for handicap. Has a nice beach for swimming or if your like me and like to Fish plenty of shoreline to cast from for Bass,Catfish,Carp or bluegill. Excellent spot for your photography and just under the Ocean to Ocean Highway bridge.

Great Riverside Park. This is a great place to relax and enjoy a family day out right near the river. Beat the heat and take a swim in the river then relax under the shade and enjoy all the park amenities. Located near the Wetlands Nature area which is a great place to explore the natural environment.

We took a nice walk by the Colorado River, watched a group float by in inner tubes, and saw a young girl building a sand castle on the shore. Ill be back when its a little cooler to take a longer walk!

I remember all the homeless people that would be living in the area and it was not safe. The City of Yuma should be complimented on such a beautiful park.

Great view of the river. Has been built up significantly over the last two decades. No lifeguards on duty so swim/wade at your own risk. The areas deeper in the brush are occupied at night so be cautious.

The river front comes together under the bridge and the city keeps it very clean. There is a hiking trail to follow and its marked with tid bits of information regarding the flora and fauna along with some historic lessons as well.
