Fairmount Park

A gem situated in the middle of the city. We moved to Riverside a year ago and have been looking for places for a quick outing, this is perfect. About 25 minutes far from my place, we had a nice walk around the lake. Beautiful day- not too cold not too warm. Surprisingly not crowded but I believe it gets too crowded on warmer days. Some people were also playing remote sail boats. I saw 2 playgrounds and my kids played at one of them, lots of fun stuff there too. We just had a perfect day.

Lovely older park. I particularly love it for running. The lake in the middle stacks attracts fishing and casual walks. They could use better planning for pedestrian, runners, and cycling. Mile/kilometer signs would also be fantastic. The facility is very large, with plenty of room. There are several nice playground, but not quite enough picnic areas or restrooms. City of Riverside should really dedicate more money to upgrades and maintenance.

Great park very large with 2 lakes you can fish they even have padel boats there are jungle gyms and swings on both sides they have tennis courts basketball courts amphitheater swimming pool a water play area in summer golf course next door. Perfect park for a party plenty of gazebos.
