Riverton City Park — Attraction in Riverton

Lovely big park. We've enjoyed 4th of July events as well as simply walking around and playing. There's a skate park at the north entrance, to the west some basketball hoops, and you keep going around the main pavilion at the center to reach more of the park. North and south of the pavilion, which has restrooms and tables (maybe 40) all over plus a wide space in the middle, are two woodchips-spread playgrounds. The south has 4 bucket swings and 4 regular swings and tall slides as well as little kid slides. My 2-year-old and 17-month-old had lots of fun on both playgrounds. The south is a bit bigger and graded for 5-12 year olds but still has the shorter slides and easy climbing equipment for littles. The north has more moving things like teeter-totter and a few spinning things, and just west of it is a splash pad area. Lots of benches and garbage cans and I noticed bike racks in multiple places too. We were there about an hour around 11 and a groundskeeper was discreetly treating trees and changing out garbages. The park is very clean and tidy, open sidewalks running double wide or more on the paths that cross through the park connecting the perimeter. A good amount of parking, including several handicap slots. Leashed dogs allowed and poop baggie stations are around. Wide variety of trees, new and mature (south of pavilion) and wide grassy areas in every direction. I know there's even more available than what we encountered, so it's definitely worth looking into to see if it will work for your...

They did a fantastic job! Santa came in on a firetruck with Mrs. Claus. They turned the park lights on. Then they had singing, hot cocoa and scones. Cookies with icing and sprinkles for the kids to decorate. A table where you could write your letter to Santa and a special mailbox where you could mail it to him. A craft table, and a place where you could roast marshmallows. They also had a giant storybook set up around the park of Twas the Night Before Christmas. The kids had fun. The only complaints I heard from anyone was about how cold it was.

I know that it would cost more, but if I could make a suggestion for improving anything, I would say that as long as the line was to go see Santa and Mrs. Claus, add more heaters along the line since it was directly outside and not covered like the other activities.

Also, to speed things up as far as the line goes, maybe have a professional photographer who takes pictures of everyone and sends all the pictures to everyone via a link where they are free to download and print them off. They could have their card with info and the website to print the pictures in the bag the kids get from Santa as well as extra cards on a table near the exit from seeing Santa. Not only would it be helpful to the people who want pictures, but it would be like free advertising for the photographer and possibly get them more clients for the future.

Thank you for the family friendly...

Riverton City Park is a great place for families, friends, or even solo visitors looking to enjoy the outdoors. I visited recently and was impressed with the variety of amenities and the overall upkeep of the park. The grounds are spacious and clean, with plenty of open green areas for picnics, sports, or simply lounging around. It’s clear that the city puts effort into maintaining this park, as everything looked well cared for.

One of the standout features is the playground area. It’s large and filled with unique equipment that keeps kids of all ages entertained. My children loved the slides, swings, and climbing structures, and I appreciated that the area was well-fenced for added safety. There’s also a splash pad, which is a fantastic way for kids to cool off on hot days – a big hit in the summer months!

For those looking to exercise or take a scenic walk, Riverton City Park has several paved walking trails, perfect for strollers, jogging, or just a peaceful stroll. There’s also a well-maintained skate park and basketball courts, which adds to its appeal.

The only minor drawback was that parking can get crowded, especially on weekends. But overall, Riverton City Park offers a great blend of recreation, relaxation, and...
