Riverside Park is the second-oldest, and one of the most-visited parks in Lynchburg. The park covers around 49 acres of rolling hills, clumps of trees and walking trails, including the Overlook and Alpine Trails which were the first hiking trails to be established in the area. As you make your way you will be treated to wonderful view of the James River. Other park activities include tennis and basketball and there is a large children’s playground. In summer, children can have lots of fun at the spray park. There is also a small transport exhibit and you can rent a picnic shelter for birthday parties and family picnics.
