Situated in Salida proper, the Riverside Park is an ideal destination for quality outdoor family time without too much of a commute. There are many winding paths through the park to push a stroller or pull a wagon on, as well as a variety of exciting playground features for kids to exhaust themselves on. Throughout the year there are various concerts at the bandshell, events being held in the pavillions, and even occasional weddings along the river. For those interested there is a climbing wall, public restrooms, and picnic tables that offer a place to have a meal or snack in the middle of a fun day.
