I really dislike having to give parks imperfect ratings, as getting out into nature in any capacity can bring peace, but sometimes they just don't work for my personal needs. Clinton River Heritage park was quite small, so not great for hiking or walking my doggo (I prefer avoiding sidewalks on main roads, and that would be the only nearby option to lengthen my walk). My second issue was that, once you crossed the main bridge, you pop out into a decent field, but it's directly behind a set of apartments, attached to their parking lot; not really a scenic view.
That being said, Clinton River Heritage Park is still a very pretty sliver of nature in the middle of a busy city area. The views of the River are beautiful, and there are plenty of seats to sit and enjoy watching the wildlife. We came across some giant maple leaves, truly impressive, gave me a laugh comparing them to my pup.
You have an available viewing dock, canoe/kayak drop in (although it looks to be currently closed), picnic tables, charcoal grills, benches, restroom, trash receptacles and a small children's play area. The parking lot is small, but honestly perfect for the needs of the park, and the cleanliness of the area was acceptable (although I cannot speak for the restrooms as I did not enter them). Overall, I think this is a great small park for the residents of the attached neighborhood/s, and great for River watching, but didn't quite fulfill my need for exercise and dog walking.

The park was nice and a great place to relax or bring kids. However, it could use some updates and improvements. With a few upgrades, it has the potential to be even better and more enjoyable for everyone.

Its a beautiful park with lots of room to roam and the river running thru it. Bike and walking paths throughout. Lots of trees and shade. Modern bathrooms too.

Good for fishing, running and biking. If you want to be able to walk into the river, it's a good location. It can be accessed next to the bridge. Not much for the kids to do, but a good spot to take a moment to be outside and catch your breath.

So beautiful here! The trail is very busy with bikes but majority are very polite and alert you. Beautiful landscape
