Beautiful park!!!! Only thing I would mention is so of the walking path will flood when it rains. It would be great if there were a few maps letting you know where you were on the course. But still an amazing park!!! Wide open spaces, geese, deer and plenty of different birds!

Absolutely loved this trail! The combination of the ocean view and colorful fall trees made it feel magical. It’s an easy walk with plenty of spots to stop and take in the scenery. Perfect for a relaxing afternoon hike! 🌊🍂

A really nice spot to stretch your legs and get some fresh air. If you like walking, running or biking it's a very large area to cover. Absolutely huge fields for picnics, pick up Ultimate Frisbee, soccer, sprints, you name it.

This is a beautiful little park. I hiked the new sections of trail that ran along the river. The trail is stroller and bike friendly. The views are gorgeous.

Riverview Farm Park is GREAT for families. (There is currently some construction going on but nothing that should be a problem). It’s still open to the public. All of it is family friendly / wheel chair accessible, stroller friendly/ pet friendly but pets must be on a leash). For logistics: The park closes at dusk (sun down). Enforced by Park Rangers. It has its own, dedicated parking lot in the middle of the park, connecting 2 loops. Loop 1 (to the right when entering): There is a playground (nice for younger and older kiddos), restrooms, and a soccer field, with loop 1 surrounding it all. Loop 2, to the left when entering, leads to the mini skatepark, the river view path and to the hill, and finally loops back to the parking lot. The river is not directly visible from the park, but is only a short 5-10 minute, super easy hike, branching off from loop 2 before reaching the hill. If you love nature, you will not want to miss it. You can keep it short or you CAN turn it into a 3 mile hike/jogg (just along the river itself) You decide how far you go :) There are Benches in between for resting/ enjoying the view. The walk itself IS a wheelchair accessible; wooden; level to the ground, pier (see photos). The pictures do not do it justice. It’s a blessing.
