Reinhart Volunteer Park/Riverside West Allsports Park is an outstanding source for a family outing. Once, long ago, nothing but a large feild of blackberries and trash (and three mismanaged ponds)... it was transformed into a beautiful outdoor complex including: 1 baseball stadium and several baseball fields, 2 soccer feilds, a small, clean, safe playground, several covered bbq/picnic areas, a great series of horseshoe pits, several tennis and basketball courts, 1 (now connected) large well maintained and stocked trout fishing pond with several small "docks" to fish off and one large lowered pavilion area (with low fence around waterline) great for those in wheelchairs or for smaller children to fish or feed ducks/geese, several wooded walking paths around the pond including a central footbridge were one may catch a glimpse of the flora and fauna of the pond (turtles are fun to watch as they sun bathe on fallen logs/branches left there for just such), several functional normally clean public restrooms... and in my opinion... the piece de resistance: A long easy grade paved walking path that connects Reinhardt starting from the Greenwood Dog Park (at the end of Greenwood Ave) all the way down along and across the scenic Rogue River via a beautiful spand footbridge to Tussing Park on the other side opposite Reinhardt... or... take the "Y" as you pass under the above mentioned bridge to continue around the wooded area and along the backside of the baseball stadium and around a low shallow fly fishing pond back toward the main entrance located at the end of Lincoln Rd!
Wow! That's a lot... and I'm sure there is more I'm forgetting at the moment! Great Park! GP has a winner here! The only thing missing that I would like to see added... is a disc...
Read moreThis park is often referred to as the "All Sports Park" which I believe was its name when it was first built.

The center of the park features a fishing pond in the middle of the park as well as a fly fishing practice Pond nearby. There are several gazebos with sinks and electricity and tables and counters. One man playground and another playground near the basketball, tennis and horseshoes. My favorite part of the park are the walking trails. There are bridges over parts of the pond, turtles and ducks, trees flowers beautiful rock water feature, Grassy Meadows, and winding trails that go all of the grounds and then beautiful stretch along the river. And there is an extravagant walking bridge over the river to another portion of the park accessible from I stopped side of the city. Did you do the occasional movies in the park and a fantastic Fourth of July celebration...
Read moreLocally known as All-Sports Park due to the variety of sports fields and courts, if you grew up playing a sport around here you may have played here with a team. All-Sports has a decent sized pond and people can usually be found fishing off the banks, bridge, and the miniature piers. The park also features a playground for kids, multiple gazebos for relaxing and events, and plenty of paths to walk around the scenic park. They even have a guest house that can be rented for things like weddings. If you are someone who plays Pokémon Go! you will enjoy a healthy number of Pokéstops and will generally find at least a few other players during events.
