I was most recently here for the Parkville Microbrew Festival but I've been here numerous times. I…read moremost often come for the off leash dog park. They have it divided into small and large dog with lots of open space and even a water pump when the weather is warm. They always have plenty of parking and there's portable toilets throughout the park. I also enjoy the trail that runs along the river. It's paved, pretty flat, and maybe 3 ish miles so it's great for everyone. They have a few other trails that are less paved and go through more of the wooded area if you want a little more ruggedness. They also have playgrounds and shelters. Plus they do various festivals and activities throughout the year. Definitely stop by and bring a pup!

This is by far my favorite park i've ever been to. over the years, they have updated this park and…read moremade it more community friendly! If you go on a warm day, the park will be flooded with families, dogs, and members of the community. It is always a bright and fun place to be. They have a pickleball court, a huge playground, volleyball court, a long and short trail, water views, baseball area, open grass area, bathrooms, and lots of parking. what more could you ask for?? One of my favorite things to do at this park is sit under the trees with my boyfriend and have a picnic. This park offers many shaded areas as well. After being at the park, it is within walking distance of park university and many restaurants/coffee shops, and shopping areas. All around, it is worth a drive to visit!! This is a good solo park or family park,

This is an awesome park located just a few minutes from 169 & Barry Road! My husband and I were…read morelooking for a new place to walk and stumbled upon this hidden gem. The park includes the following amenities (per their website): - 18 Acres - 0.80 Miles Asphalt Trail - 2 Shelters (main shelter has electricity & water) - 20 Picnic Tables - 3 Playgrounds - 2 Sand Volleyball Courts - 1 Ball Field (w/ electrical outlet for pitching machines) - ADA Accessible - 40 Parking Spaces @ Main Park - 9 Parking Spaces @ Annex Park In addition to those things, when we visited there was a fruit orchard and a community vegetable garden where they encourage you to harvest or work, if you can! They also have trash & recycling bins, as well as porta-potties (we did not see any standard restroom facilities). There are also lots of beautiful trees that provide shade, definitely worth checking out!

We had a great time at Dagg Park! Enjoyed the spray ground even though not all features were…read moreworking. But their Facebook page did forewarn that issue. I enjoyed that the playground areas were on turf so the kids could go back and forth from the playground to the splash pad. There are covered shelters and seated benches. Would recommend bringing a chair or blanket just in case they are full. We were there right as it opened, so no issues. Another feature we liked is that the park is fenced in. Also, nice bathrooms!

Adorable little park! My friend and I had lunch at a picnic table here this past weekend. It was…read morecompletely empty on a gorgeous day! No idea why no families were here as it looked to have some good playground equipment. Nice little park with tons of parking and completely free of others if you want to dominate on the monkey bars.

Finding these walking paths, down S Main Street, was a stroke of luck after biking the 10k route between English Landing and Platte Landing parks. It offered a way to stretch the legs among tall trees that shielded us from the hum of activities on the outside. The wood chips made for a soft trek, and viewpoints of the creek made for a calming experience. Granted it was a short walk, and while I desired a longer distance, being a part of preserved nature can never be overvalued. These trails add to the charm of Parkville!

Yes I do recommend going to this park.

It's great for your family and friends. You can hang out and so much other things that you could do at a park I recommend everyone going to this park thanks!!!!!! :)

A few things to know: 1. Kayaking or Paddleboarding- you must have a permit (sticker) displayed on your craft. You purchase this at the marina office - and they are closed Tuesday/ Wednesday. It's $60- season. We hear they are strict about enforcing this. The launch spot is very close to the marina office- and is amazing. The launch point is zero entry and it has a parking lot- so you don't have to drag your craft very far. It's great! We kayaked on a Saturday and only saw a couple of boats. We love the calm quiet water and the beautiful nature experience. 2. Hiking- there are over 10 miles of hiking trails around the lake. They are maintained by Urban Trail Co- and their site is where they post trail closings (they are closed after big rains). The trails are pretty hilly-and we have been using them for Colorado Backpacking training. It's perfect! Bring bug spray- and I wouldn't recommend going alone since they are very isolated in the woods. There don't seem to be clearly marked trail heads- we parked at the spillway parking lot or the shelters seem to trail entry points as well. Go get outside! Enjoy! ‍

Located at the confluence of Line Creek into the mighty Missouri River just downstream from the Argosy Casino. This riverfront park has lots to offer; multiple pickleball courts, picnic shelters, lots of paved walking/biking paths, kids playground equipment, large public art installations and a beautiful courtyard to watch the longest river in the nation snake it's wide muddy water past your gaze. There are not a lot of places in the metro that offer such a great up close vista of our most under-utilized and unappreciated natural wonder. I see myself returning for pre-work lunches or coffee since I work just a mile away. Good job city of Riverside!
