I was visiting the City of Riverside and came across White Park in downtown. What a beautiful and…read moreclean park! Thought I check it out. Park is located between Chestnut St and Market St. It is not huge, but a good medium size park. It has plenty of big green trees which is a nice offering of great shade. Benches are placed throughout the park. You may take a stroll on its many windy walking paths. Its surrounding grass areas are quite lush and green. Landscape with exotic plants and flowers was quite elegant and exquisite. There's a charming gazebo in the heart of the park. This park also holds special events or festivals with vendors, food, music, arts & crafts, etc. Please note this park may be closed when there are bigger events taking place in downtown. Definitely a lovely park with relaxation and scenic views in mind for all locals and visitors to enjoy!

A cute park right in the middle of downtown Riverside. I'm not too familiar with this town but it…read morecould also be somewhat the business district or historical district from the Victorian houses that was nearby. Anywho, I seen the gate driving by on the way to an appointment. Had an hour to kill so off to the closest Starbucks for a cold drink and back to the park to lounge for a bit. The main entrance was what caught my attention. A cute archway that welcomes you to a very cute park. Almost like something you would see on a movie set. There's street parking out front which is paid with the metered. I ended finding some residential parking on the end of the park side as there was shaded parts. Front had full parking available but it was full sun. Anyways, I found out that there was no other entrance beside the main one in-front. Had to walk from the back but it was fine, a nice little walk along the side streets which barely any cars drove through. Once you walk through the gate which had a nice rose garden in-front, you're greeted with a water fountain that is very picturesque. It's somewhat the focal point when you walk in but behind it is the gazebo. It's a cute park that's not big but big enough. Plenty of benches along the path. On one side is a cute little Japanese style garden minus any ponds. Don't think your allowed to walk through as it's more of a garden feature. Plenty of nice big trees with shades for lounging with a blanket. Theres no play ground as it's more of a community garden but very well kept. A cute little oasis in the heart of town. Worth a nice little lounging under the trees.

This park is very intimate and tranquil great place to come at night 10/10 would recommendread more

I visited for my nephew's basketball tournaments and really enjoyed the facilities, the indoor gym is small but comfortable. The community center is fantastic: clean, modern, and comfortable with great restrooms. With soccer fields, baseball diamonds, a playground, and picnic areas, it's a wonderful, family-friendly spot to have in the neighborhood.

AMENITIES There are multiple areas including basketball courts, soccer field, baseball field, playground, etc. It is well-lit so it's great for walking around or jogging. Perfect for families. The walkways are paved so it's good for visitors who have utility carts, strollers, walkers or wheelchairs. It's even dog-friendly (just be sure to pick up after your pet). PARKING I like that this park has plenty of parking spaces, too. Overall, Orange Terrace Park is definitely one of my favorite local parks. It's a great place for outdoor activities in Riverside.

It looks appealing in the winter and early spring when the dominate hill that gives the park its…read morename is brightgreen, but it's not worth going to for hiking unless you live nearby. It's more of a neighborhood park than a destination, really. The rocks on the hill tops (twin peaks) are covered in heavy layers of paint to mask graffiti and the fresh graffiti defeating the periodic efforts to suppress it. Sad, but true. Who's this small park for? Great for dogs. First, there's a small parking lot on the opposite side of the hill when viewed from the south or driving on California Street. The ungroomed trails also beg for riding BMX or mountain bikes. Basic equipment, though, nothing terribly challenging except the steep climb on the SE corner. It was worth visiting to rule it out, but the .74 miles on my Strava app revealed its low value for time and distance.

I felt that we had landed in a beautiful botanical garden; and, because of the Santa Anna winds, the Inland Empire was crystal clear--from the top of the hill we could see for miles in every direction! Also, with every breath I took the air felt impossibly fresh and crisp! My dream is that the entire Inland Empire strives to become the world's most beauiful botanical gardens and where her communities vye for top prizes from the American Public Gardens Association...ahhh, wouldn't that be lovely?

She was such a joy, full of knowledge and information. I liked how Sue spoke to the children and kept them in line and engaging at the same time. She not only used big vocabulary but also explained it for the kids and myself to understand. The hike was easy for 6 -7 year old age group. , the kids seem to enjoy themselves . Just make sure to wear long pants. Many of the walking path had poisonous hemlock, and another plant that also is itchy to the skin.. ( can't think of the name ) ..

Also don't keep valuables in your car as I have noticed recent car break ins. I used to walk along the bike trail or walk on the horse trail. It branches away to other trails. Be on the lookout mid afternoon there are a ton of coyotes. This place used to be one of my favorite places to visit in Riverside. It's so scenic and beautiful!
