👍👍 I love this park. It's small and quiet, well designed, and just comfortable any time of day. It's even well placed and pretty well lit. I've never had a problem here and hope it stays that way. People often mention park,

    It's a very small quiet park that's located directly outside of a residential area. In which the park is about the size of a backyard. But the park has very little occupancy, but at the same time pedestrians & cars continuously pass it by.

    Quiet park for sitting and relaxing. There is no playground area here for children; however, there is room for them to run around or play on the grassy areas.

👍👍 The Riverwalk was a great experience for our entire group. There’s free parking and the area is well-kept. We also noticed security/police presence and felt safe the entire time. The water is beautiful! We were able to get a great view of Canada and we saw several ducks up close and personal. It was...
