Rocks Riverside Park is a great place to visit year-round. It has a spacious playground, plenty of shady spots, BBQ facilities, and lots of trees that make it perfect for a relaxing day out. Kids love the open space and activities, and it’s ideal for family gatherings or casual weekend outings. Highly recommended! Beautiful park with something for everyone! Highly recommended!

Great place for family bbqs(takes forever though) plenty of shaded areas for parties. Lots of paths for walking, running or kiddies riding their bikes. There's a kiosk there and a water park that is opening up in December. There's a big jumping pillow for the kids to enjoy. The river runs along the park as well. Great day out.

Great park for the family outing. Large beautiful park has children playground, water play area, picnic tables and BBQ, public toilet. It's lovely place to spend time for walking, picnic, and relaxing!
On hot summer days, head to the water-play area first with towels and sun protection. In cooler months, enjoy lawns for picnics and bring a light jacket for breezy riverbank conditions.
