We just went on one trail so I can’t speak about all the trails or the whole park, but it is beautiful. Google maps doesn’t show all the places you can park, but there are signs here and there. The trail we went on was a bit rough with some ridges in it, so some maintenance would be helpful. But not too difficult and a nice nature experience.

Wow was a beautiful place. We took our pup here for the dog park and was surprised how clean and quiet it was. The dog park had two areas, one for smaller pups and one for bigger ones. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Great spot for a weekend hangout with the pup.

Riverview Park offers amazing views and peaceful spots to relax, with plenty of trails and pavilions nestled into the woods. It’s a nice place to escape to in the city. The scenery is nice but not breathtaking. It’s a good place for a quiet day outdoors. Do note that you cannot see the river from the park very well as the title may suggest. However, be cautious if visiting closer to sunset, as there are sometimes suspicious vehicles and people around. Additionally, the roads in the park are in rough shape—bumpy and poorly maintained. In some spots, the road even looks like it’s falling off the cliff, so drive carefully. In regard to the other city parks, Schenley, Frick, and Highland Parks are all better in my eyes.

Amazing views and quiet areas. There's many parks and pavilions to enjoy. Tucked into the woods, this park is grand and beautiful, being so close to the city.

Great place to walk around on the trails and take in some nature! Some trails are paved some have trails that are a little less traveled....all are fun and exciting to travel! We enjoyed pur day off with a packed lunch and exploring!
