It's a very nice park I love taking my grandkids and my dog for a walk over there. However there's a construction at this time, the parking lot has standing water with a lot of mud. Some of the trail has caved in and apparently they're doing repairs. I hope they finish it soon the particular trail has been caved in for a year or better.

  • Tony Suszczynski

Great local park within the area made up of Park St., Cherry St., Sydney St. and Willowbranch Terrace.. Willowbranch Creek (Canal) runs thru the park and empties into the Saint Johns River. Lots of open space. Tall mature shade trees offer many spots to get out of the sun. Family friendly, it's also a great spot for a picnic.

  • Stephanie Shelton

The area in the middle is left unmowed so there's always been tons of butterflies and pollinators when I go. There's an area with dead logs and flowers with many species of mushroom. I saw a golden eagle one day as well. Great for a quick nature walk, and there's also swings, a basketball court, and a gazebo.

  • Hilirie

This park is in a quite and safe area in Riverside. Lots of people bring their pets here. There is a children's park too, with a library on the corner. It is perfect! Lots of trees and green space, great area to throw out a blanket and chill. There is even an owl! Check out the pics (:

  • Mark Mauerman

Nice little park. I love all of the old sidewalk bridges over the creek as it winds its way to the St. Johns River. Although the park doesn't continue over the park, there is a greenway that connects it to Mom's Park and it is certainly worth the walk to see the area. Very peaceful.

  • Bill Cook

Take care of this precious gem. It is an elongated park with each section providing something special, all the way to the river. Presided over and protected by the unofficial mayor of Riverside, Richard, it is the heart of my favorite place in the country and city of my birth.

  • J G

A really nice medium sized park with a creek running through it where you can spend a couple minutes or a couple of hours. It has plenty of grassy spaces with paved walkways, a shaded field for dog walking, a little playground, basketball courts and even a baseball diamond!

  • Kerrie Speller

1st off the portable toilets were the CLEANEST I ever seen at a park,then when you came out there was a Handwashing station to wash hands soap, paper towels and a foot pump to get the water just enough to wash not waste. Only problem no receptacle for trash.

  • Cynthia Norman

I've lived by this Park. For 25yrs. & these owls have been having baby's.. & baby's have been having there kid's.. My park i call Home. I will leave money when i die, so that will always have trees for my friends, the owls will need move tree by then..

  • Desire Jordan

This park is another one of my favorites. Great concrete path through the park for walking, basketball court, large grassy areas for a picnic or game of kickball along with an area for the kids to play if you have any. A lot of shaded areas as well

  • Kat March

This library has a small but well-curated collection and with transfers from the rest of the system, you'll never lack for entertainment. They have a great children's area, separated in the basement and a focus on teens. The building itself

  • A Cotter

The Park roads and parking can be in much better shape. But the field and courts are usable. Obviously not spotless and maintained weekly but overall decent during daylight hours, but there are better parks in the neighborhood than that.

  • Nicolaus Wagner

Our favorite local park! We take our dog here to get his energy out. There are a family of owls that have lived here for years. Very nice park, well maintained and lit. Next to willowbranch Library. Perfect place for a date or stroll.

  • alduy tor

I walk along after an early strong rain. In lots of places grass was very tal. A few weeks laters driving by, I saw civilians with posters calling for a maintenance volunteer activity on a Saturday morning. Thanks for their service.

  • DJ

Really nice and quiet park. There are basketball courts, baseball fields, a playground, plenty of places for a picnic or benches to read from. The occasional homeless person but overall worth visiting if you live in the area.

  • Connor Thurston

I love love love this park and the surrounding community! Awesome place to bring the family and just hang out and enjoy the scenery. Plenty of things to do, I love to shoots some hoops here! Definitely the place to be! …

  • Karen Goolsky

This park is so pretty and so peaceful. We watched three owls going from tree to tree grabbing stuff to build themselves a nest. It really was pretty cool to watch. My grandson had a blast playing. We will happily go again

  • Nikolai Hamer

Gorgeous park with basketball court and small kids playground. Has lots of trees and clearings with sidewalks interweaving through. Also a family of owls and Hawks living in the tall trees that occasionally fly through.

  • Stephen Swart

I love this park! They recently repainted the basketball court to look like a koi pond and it’s beautiful! The artist did a great job. A Sports League plays kickball on Sundays in the spring and fall, and it’s a lot

  • Mark Oellerich

I've been going to Willowbranch for 25 years. The library there is small but the building is beautiful. The park is fairly large and wonderful for a walk anytime of day. I recommend stopping by if your in the area.

  • Walker Ferris

Nice little park for athletic activity - basketball courts, a diamond, etc. Patches of the field are a bit rough if you're looking to play soccer/ultimate/field sports, but there are certainly much worse parks!

  • joseph grs

People need to start picking up after themselves. It's sad when the ghetto comes out and leaves their trash. Just because they trash their own neighborhood doesn't mean they should trash the park. It's sad

  • Daniel Dombrowski

Nice Lil walk. No more then a few blocks really. Good spot for a picnic in the city. Lots of community activities held here. Stonewall kickball was holding a tournament? It looked like while we was here.

  • Grace Watson

Beautiful and clean park in Riverside. It's surrounded by beautiful historic houses, and a library. The park has a basketball court, baseball field, sidewalk paths, and a covered picnic area.

  • Tourette Shit w Gogo White

Beautiful park just to be defaced like this, still serene yet big. Breezy with history standing still as you walk through the park.
Playground
Still have the swings of yesterday

  • Shatavia Eady

Very nice park. I came here for a kickball game. The port o potty needed to changed and the grass needed to be cut. A food truck Mary's kitchen was out there. Omg the food was so good.

  • C’est la Vie

This park is lovely. It’s located in Riverside. Has playground for kids. Swings for kids and toddlers. Lots of space for dogs and walking. You can come here to play Basketball, soccer.

  • Ashante Greenlee

Beautiful park to walk around on pathways, places to sit and a lot of space if you want to have a picnic. The area is comfortably covered by a mass of trees and it’s just serene.

  • Dejesus Smith

definitely a great place to enjoy your morning work out. What I love is that it comes with a trail that leads out of the park into another one I recommend this park for sure.

  • Patricia Zalo

Great park with delightful areas for walks, children playground equipment was spread out to allow more children. Good drainage after the many days of rain.
