Riverside Park Neighbourhood Overview

The area of Riverside Park is quite large, as it includes the expansive park from where it gets its name. The neighbourhood has a small-town feel surrounded by nature while still being close to the major arteries that can take you into the city. The park itself features a picturesque waterfront, gardens, and children’s play areas. It also serves as the community hub where major events are held, like Ribfest, New Year's fireworks displays, and the locally recognized floral clock.
