Very fun time, walking across the state line; nice bridge!
Very small park. It is located downtown though, so its to be expected. Equipment is upkept and modern. Upside; the park its right next to the river. Great view and activities if you fish or kyak. A new path and railing are just being put in that lead along the river so it gives a nice walk/jog. There is also water pads for the summer. Downside; the bathrooms are absolutely horrid.
I live in the area and it’s the best place in Columbus to be. So much to do. Great place for walks, biking, eating, drinking, and relaxing. Plenty of places that are pet and kid friendly.
A great part of Columbus. One of the best places to go walking/running or ride bikes. The river is beautiful and the views are amazing.
Columbus Georgia is a great getaway from Atlanta. Id even call it like a mini Atlanta. Water is everywhere. You have the riverfront, and 2 or 3 lakes close by. The riverfront has restaurants and a great vibe. Columbus State University is right there, so you have students intermingling with the crowd. There are historical plaques as you walk through downtown that give you a brief history read about Columbus. A very easy going energy in Columbus.
Love this park! I walked my dog here a lot in the summertime when the bugs were bad everywhere else and they obviously do a very good job of treating for pests because I didnt get bit by a mosquito even once! Kaiser loves seeing all the new people here and getting to run around on the rocky areas! We took pictures on the little peninsula area made of rocks and theyre some of the best pictures Ive ever gotten of my beautiful baby boy ❤️
This place is so beautiful! People not only can enjoy the view of this beautiful area but also they can cross the river on a zip line or have a nice ride on a draft boat. There is also a playground area for the kids.
The kids do love it, and we like the way they did the ground under the equipment, but it definitely needs some repairs and updates. The splash pad part is pretty basic and not comparable to others that have been I stalled around town in the last few years. Its scenic and certainly in a good place, but I would love to see some updates.
I loved taking my family here. It was nice to walk next to the river and enjoy the scenery. There is also a zip line and ropes course here that is not very expensive. You can buy tickets at the water rafting rental store.
The splash pad is the best for both young and old. The playground needs some maintenance attention.
It was food truck night at the Woodruff Riverfront Park although it was postponed for week due to the weather it was an awesome redo on the date we had such a great time my friends and I at the food truck we had slushies we have pretzels we had BBQ beef rib tips Jamaican-style that stuff was so awesome cant wait for next year the food truck rocks
Great, easy place to walk. Scenic riverfront views. Benches along the path. Ramp and stair access points.
The main areas of the park are nice and well maintained. I enjoyed riding along the river. We rode 7 miles and the path was mostly flat. There was a few areas where trash was piling up and it looked like people were dumping trash in one spot. The trail signs were dirt and hard to read. Also there were lights that had fallen over. Definitely needs some upkeep along the trail.
Beautiful, relaxing stop. This is a must when visiting the Columbus GA area.
Great place to take your dog for a walk or your kids lol They have a great playground that’s new & modern and a splash pad as well. Really beautiful area. The bathrooms nearby need work though!
I go down here to walk sometimes & to fish. Its a pretty good spot to relax & ease your mind. Look at the river and chill
Loved this place. The padded ground covering is a super perk.
This area is really nice and clean. Columbus has really cleaned this area up and made it into a tourist spot. There is quite a bit of history to this area and the sights are beautiful.
Beautiful River Walk! So much to do here! River rafting, zip line across the Chattahoochee River, splash pad & playground for the kids. Theres also a great variety of restaurants and shops within walking distance. Many events are scheduled throughout the year, also Columbus State University has their theater located here, we enjoy going to see a show now and then.
Great place to swim, kayak, and do other water actives. Is also a nice place to relax.
Great park with a scenic view. It is a safe place to take your family and let the kids have a good time. Several playground set ups for all ages. Soft ground in case of falls.
The weather was windy. Though it was soo much space. A playground, walk area. Football, basketball area. And the bridge view is beyond lovely. Aww really cook statue as well. Photography by NittyLiveTv .
Great splash pad and musical playground. They also have a great “bigger kid” playground.
Clean, great environment to meet other parents and kids. Friendly people, comfortable, and fun!
They have done a great job turning an industrial area into a recreation area. Plenty of parking and great viewpoints along the way.
Great place to enjoy a nice stroll along the Chattahoochee River with paddle boarding, rafting, or zip lines across the river to Alabama and back!!
Great place for family day at the park, walking trail and waterfront areas.
Nice little riverfront playground with a lot of interactive play stations for toddlers to older kids. Right next to the splash pad for a nice outdoor play day.
Beautiful park! My family has a great time everytime. The splash pad is big enough for a ton of kids, as is the connecting playground. Theres ample shade. We put a blanket out under a tree and picnicked all day! THE ONLY DOWNSIDE, WAS THE SMOKERS. Smoked on the playground and it blew in our faces a lot.
What the city of Columbus has done along the river along with private companies and Columbus State University is incredible. The Riverwalk is a city treasure.
Playground is great but gets to hot to play on. My kids lover walking up the river to the island and watching the white water express groups come down. The whole stretch is just beautiful and a must visit if you come to the area.
Nice space, did a car show there and have seen concerts as well. splash pad nearby is good for the kids and the walk along the river is nice too.
Great view but can have some shady people roaming around. Saw a homeless person sleeping on a bench.
Enjoyed the River fest. Could have more booths with handmade items
Great place to take children. Activities and rides appropriate for toddlers to elementary school ages. The only negative is lack of parking.
Super fun playground for the kids. I loved the soft rubber surface and the variety of play stations. A couple of things werent in perfect condition, but thats to be expected on a heavy traffic playground. Really close to good food and beverage options, so you can grab some and take the kids over to play while you eat/drink.
Good place for water rafting and walking and running track
Really nice park for kids and adults. Walking paths, can get to the river from here, can zip line. People rafting and kayaking. Restaurants across the street. Really beautiful.
This was a stop for the Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club during our visit here in Phenix City. The Bikes on Broadway @ CSU 2018 was nice. The park itself is a family outing spot which on point.
Woodruff Riverfront Park is located on the Chattahoochee River in Uptown Columbus. There are spouting water features in the park and beautiful green space.
We just love wood that is ruff and gorgeous views both available in plenty at woodruff park. We took a short stroll as we came in at sunset two dogs who wondered where we may wonder tails wagging .Our questions answered and our curious canine condundrum solved we watched the sunset together a great spot for any date .
Love this place but the las time that I went was flooded hoping getting normal soon
Beautiful, peaceful, and something to do for all ages!
Just beautiful and peaceful.
This place was a lot of fun! A little scary with a toddler who loves water so keep the kids close. But all in all really cool.
Wonderful place, for kids of ALL ages ( young & old) to sit and chill or walk.
Very clean, new playground. My kids had fun and also got to splash in the water.
It is always beautiful and so peaceful here anytime of the year
Kids had fun on soft pad playground.
Always great place to take the kids even when it’s 54 degrees outside. Many kids and the food bank is always across the street for some treats.
A really beautiful place where you can walk along the river.
I love it! I caught the biggest Striped Bass and Catfish in my entire life! Its amazing!! The water is awesome.
We had a good time. It is riverfest weekend.
I love the atmosphere. It has musical instruments, the surface is covered so there is no dirt or mud. The equipment is unique and creative.
Beautiful. Life vests are available free of charge if you want to get in the water.
Great walk by the hooch, able to see many fish from the walkway. Benches all around (not n shade, so they are hot)
Love it there..beautiful hot day with family..kids LOVES water area
Beautiful park to go for some R&R or any of the many activities in and around the park, namely the zipline park.
A beautiful place to relax and take a stroll.
Nice place to go to relax and enjoy the views, shopping, restaurants, and events when they are happening.
Absolutely loved our time here. So relaxing and peaceful
Great place to go on a photo walk or just to walk around. Plenty of stores, events, and active in the day.
Nice area. A little crowded but its a park. Kayaking on the river rapids, ziplining across the river from Alabama to Georgia and vise versa. Plus plenty of reassurance to eat at. A major downfall is parkIng, and that the homeless took over the bathrooms there and forced everyone to the porta-johns.
Had a great time. Clean and well maintained. Thank you
Nice scenic view of the river. Well light for a night walk. Family appropriate, but everyone enjoying walking, sitting, the park, food, and access to the water too. There is an island, but it was locked by a gate to cross the bridge (night hours). The old water mill and dam along pathway on walk. There were frogs on the sidewalk... Shined phone flashlight in eyes and petted a few of them😂
White water rafting avaliable and canoeing
Clean, convinently located park overlooking the Chattahoochee river. Playground has padded ground to so if the little ones fall they bounce!
Always a great walk and time family. Great area for pictures. Calm amd relaxing to look at the water and beautiful bridges
Countrys has good food, especially their dressing on Friday and nice soft chicken livers with toast and Lima beans and sweet tea. Their banana pudding, lemon meringue pie, and pecan pie is good too.
Amazing place. Wonderfull care it.
We loved it. Beautiful views, interesting park equipment. Great time.
For whatever your mobility style or preference you can do that here!!
This is a beautiful park for everyone to enjoy! Whether you want to throw a blanket out and just people watch or if you want to fish, you can. The kids have a cool, interactive playground and a very popular splash pad (for the grown kids also!)!! There is always something going on here that is fun! Try it, you will love it!!!
Really lovely. The development along the River is so impressive. I know this area is the gem of Columbus. Enjoy Downtown and stay there too. The people planning the area along the River are dutiful and want you to have a great experience for you, family and all ages. How nice this is to have in West Georgia
Very spacious, seating area,easy to get to the river.
Really nice place to walk around take some pictures down by the river!
Excellent park. This place is always clean. I like the passed ground. Having a two year old I dont have to worry about him getting hurt if he falls. He also loves the splash pad and walking down to the river and watching the rafters and zip liners. Wish the parking was better though
Easter egg hunt with kids was awesome!! Love taking my nieces and nephew here when I visit💗
Very exciting to see the Chattahoochee River overflow
Loved this park. Water views were amazing. Playground was awesome and great from toddler to preteen. Sidewalks are good for bikes and skating. Spray ground is a bit small but sufficient.Four stars because parking is very limited.
Quite lots of small kids playing on the playground families and dog walkers. It was a beautiful peaceful day.
This is the place to walk along the river. Great for families and walking. Their are a few pesky mosquitoes. It is a little difficult to see for people with low vision, so be aware of possible tripping hazards if you have a family member that has low vision.
Great park to bring your little one. All ages were represented. Bring sunscreen as this is an open area playground. The only thing we would have enjoyed seeing would have been a mesh (of sort) railing tracing the park on the river side. We did not see a bathroom or water fountain but we were not searching for them.
My 3.5 year old loves coming here, and although I always monitor my kid, she has a little bit of freedom to wander on her own without me being worried. She loves the easy stuff, but enjoys the challenging things even more. I wish there were more swings, and that it was covered better, but will always visit, especially the splash pad during the summer!!!
Great place for kids. It is a hands on educational platform for musical endeavors and all sorts of slides and a water pad. There is a zipline for older people and whitewater rafting. There are sometimes other varied programs that you can attend.
Nice place to take the granddaughters! In the summer, the fountains are working!
Super beautiful, super cool, super fun. This river walk is one of the best I have seen across the country. The river and city scapes are wonderful. The park is very clean with only a few homeless when we were there. The pedestrian bridge had nice seating and nice planters. The old buildings on the river are great and many are being renovated into beautiful old meets new architecture. Really clean streets and public bathrooms. We did get chased a little by a begger. Many nice food joints nearby as well. This is an I-65 detour worth making.
This is a great place, the new playground is favored by the kids and it is large too. The splash pad is a great place for them to cool off as well. It is a bunch of fountains that shoot water about eight feet in the air that the kids can run through. Clean and a good area with plenty of other things to do, one block down from broadway, up against the river walk.
Jazz on the river. Sunday afternoon relaxation with my baby girl. Ready for another one. Some rested others boozed it up.
Nice to see places like this where families can get out and walk
So fun. Super great on sunny days !!!!! Love this place so much . Great for running and exercising. My children love to go out here and hang out with their dad and kites and toys and games. Do not go when it is raining, unless you are sad and need somewhere to walk or hang out.
Beautiful park. Lovely place to enjoy the spectacular views and watch the white watercrafts go by on their adventure. Be sure to read the rules and precautions. The river is beautiful but dangerous. Enjoy but be smart too.
Great playground and water pad, always clean, but could use more shade for parents and such. Seating that isnt hot rocks would also be nice. Great field for dog training though, which is what I mostly care about.
We went there for the food truck festival. We loved it and will surely be back next year.
Such a great place to relax and play on the chattahoochee! Beautiful walking area and sight seeing spot! Just wish there was a little more police presence. It seems like a lot of homeless hang out here and Ive never seen anyone of authority come and make sure people are enforcing the rules. Also if you come here, please pick up after your self there is a surplus if litter
A great place for family fun, and a cool place for visitors. You can jog, ride bicycles, fish, kayak, ride the rapids for 12 miles along the river, and you can zipli e across the river. Plenty of places in the area to eat because its right downtown. Its pretty much the place to be if the city of Columbus is putting on an event. There is a small splash park and a decent kids playing area as well. Plenty of old industrial building to look at while on the actual river walk too.
Great place to hang out near the water or in the water then grab lunch an beer. Really enjoyed the atmosphere.
Joined my 5 yr old nephew and brother on their day of fun at the splash pad and playground. They have a neat music area with drums, etc. Seems like all age groups were covered in my opinion. We watched people do the zipline across the river too (really cool). The only draw back I saw was that there was nowhere to buy refreshments for our Lil ones. But you can always bring your own bottled waters, etc. Nice and clean environment. Later we visited an ice cream parlor a few blocks up the road that sells by the ounce with all kinds of weird toppings. It was 😋 delicious.
Looked fun, but I didnt have anywhere to park so me and the kids had to leave. Surroundings business have signs posted saying parking for their customers only. So 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Very beautiful River front area.
This downtown Riverfront is awesome, on a beautiful day you can enjoy the entire area around you. Store fronts for shopping, restaurants, walking, biking, ziplining, boating, rafting & other water activities. I loved the trail that leads almost around the waterfront & very active. Two thumbs up!💯
Great place to take a walk, watch people do water rafting & zip lining. Nice little splash park & area for kids to play. Love it when they have live Jazz/music on the river!
Nice place. We just visited passing by.
Absolutely loved our visit here. The playground is unique and my children loved traversing it. The view is extraordinary and the property is kept super clean. People are friendly and there was plenty of parking, even on a Saturday.
Great park. The splash pad is really good for the kids to cool down in the summer. I like to let my kids play in the water first, then the park, that way the sun will dry them off before they get in my car.
Love going here. Great play area. Very open so you can watch the kiddos no matter where they run off to. Great river front walking path. Lots of pokestops.
Food festival going on when we went, and a live band. It was a good time, and beautiful set up. They also have ziplining and a place to rent kayaks or rafts. Coming from out of state it was a way to have a good time without spending too much.
Nice small rapids accessible via rocky shore. Easy walk along picturesque river.
Great place to have a nice walk with friends and family. Ocational concerts to attend and other local events. Water activies such as water rafting and fishing along the river can be seen from time to time. Also close to few restaurants and close enough to downtown where more local dining and bars can be found. Overall perfect place to have an enjoyable day, evening or night out.
Beautiful views of the river and fun to go to. Lots of people. Has a park and a splash pad. Has kayaking , paddle boarding, rapids, zip line across the river, fireworks on holidays and a food truck area. Lots of art and history as well.
It is a great placs for the family to go have fun and speed the day together...very kids friendly!!!So many outdoor recreational things to do!!!
We love this place. Good for a walk, letting children play in the park, and even has a nice little water park feature. Even though the water park feature is down right now, we still love this park. The musical park of the play ground has percussion instruments with drum sticks connected to the instruments by strings and we have a ball making all that noise. If you would like to see a video of us playing at this park then search my YouTube channel:PhatDookie 420, then search for Woodruff Riverfront Park for the videos. Thank you for reading my review and for your time.
So beautiful, go and enjoy safe place for kids to play and walk pets. Scenery is amazing
Except for the steep steps, this makes up a huge part of the beauty of Columbus Ga. Walking, fishing, bike riding, whitewater rafting, zip lines, kayaking and kayak rentals, playground, picnic area and a huge splash pad to cool off! Theres something for everyone to enjoy!
Great place to go for the day. Parking is horrible unless you like to fork out the cash for the nearby parking lots. If not youll need to go to the next block over and hope to find a spot then get your walking shoes on.
This park is so unique! Very artsy and pleanty of space for little ones to run around. Ilove the music aspect they have included. The splash pad is the perfect thing for cooling off on a hot day.
This is a great area for family, and kids alike the people are so genuine. No race issues just people enjoying life I often take my grandson and Im always amazed at how people of all culture act as simple American people, that what America stand for . The Riverwalk is awesome so its 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟isnt my opinion 😎😎😎😎.
Small park, but its right off the Chattahoochee River, so you will have quick access to the Riverwalk. The park has a nice playground area for kids, plus little stores across the parking lot, including the Whitewater Express for anyone interested in river rafting/kayaking. There are only a few parking spots available, so find the parking garage about 150 yards away on Front Street for free!!!
In the last few year there is so many changes that have taken place. From the Whitewater Express experience for the older kids and adults to the Splash pad and playground that they just recently finished for the younger ones. There is also the beautiful Riverwalk. This park used to have nothing for the families, but has changed for the better and I love taking my family to this clean and will maintained park.
Great place to hang out down town. They have a lot of food eatery,bar and grill, entertainment on the grounds. they have lots of picture taken stature. We loved getting out and having fun on ladies day.
1st time ever. Loved it
Great place to hangout by the river. Nice place for a walk, lot of activity area for kids, number of restaurants nearby.
An awesome park with plenty of different options of play equipment for all ages of kids
The parking is really horrible especially for handicapped people. Once there it is a pretty area. There are things to do there on special occasions. You can go river rafting. Zip line across the river. There is a play area for kids that is great.
Great outdoor experience
This is a beautiful Riverfront Park on the Chattahoochee River in Columbus Georgia. They often have events or small concerts here. Theres great views of the Chattahoochee. Its a wonderful place to watch the sunset. They have post where you can hook up your hammocks and relax. Overall its just a great place!
Awesome pick nic today almost fell asleep. Down there on the palite
Its a great play area with a fantastic view of the Hooch! My children really enjoy this park!
A nice place to take the kids for fun
Nice peaceful stroll along the raging River and a view of history
Greasy place to go during the summer when it is hot. The kids live it because of the splash pad, and the playground is right next to it. It is on the Riverwalk which is also nice. Just wish there was a bathroom closer, especially when you have smaller children
Its historically beautiful
The park is great if anyone wanna get out of home and go breath in fresh air.
The best place to relax :)
This is an amazing outdoor park with water features for kids to play at all times of the year. I took one star off because the playground equipment constantly needs attending to; most recently, the cables that secure the drumsticks to the musical instruments are fraying which could give kids metal splinters.
I love it! Id give it 5 star but they have a safety issue. Once it gets later a rougher crowd hits the area with little patrol. They are there early morning too making it feel unsafe to exercise early in the morning there alone.
Great playground but splash pad was very underwhelming. I wish there was more to it than just a dozen or so water shooters.
Fishing with my soul mate Pete and my brother and my middle son was really nice and does us good to qalk up and down those steps thatvgo into the water. Happy to have the steps at the waters edge gated n locked. Good times.
Such a beautiful place... I should have known earlier!!!
The splash pad and park are great! My 3 year old had a ball and there was space for me to sit in the shade. Id recommend it to anyone!
Wonderful place. Somebody kept working in the ground (manhole) kept climbing down and leaving the door open. Several kids couldve fallen in over and over. Yes go! Just watch your kids.
Took my 2 year old grandson Peyton from New York, he loved it. I brought every other day. Great environment for the family and pets.
Always a great time and a great place to spend family time. For the last 15 years Ive gone to the same place love all the different things to do now the kids always have fun! Love my hometown.
I remember when they were building the riverwalk around I think 93 94 give or take. I was sad they did not make it more of a natural walk with nature type thing. When it was built they said it is made so it will never get flooded out. Lol yeah I could not get over the fact that their tools were still warm after finishing and first big rain flooded it all..lol over the years it has grown and changed and I can say running away to this place sometimes when I wanted to break is what helped keep me going. I love it!
This park is clean, well maintained, and partially shaded. Beautiful river walk. Ample parking. There was a nice splash pad, but it wasnt in operation during our visit.
It was so beautiful with the weather play area and fishing. We was there when they had church services across the river on the other side. It was easter service on the water. My son caught 3 big fish.
Loving what the city is doing for this park.
There is always something going on here and in the area. Went to a food truck festival and that was really fun. Through out the year there are different events. Fourth of July fireworks etc. When There isnt an event, its a nice park and RiverWalk area. There is a zipline and river rafting to do. Around the corner, is Broadway and a great eating areas and club/lounges.
My husband and I love walking down here.
There are parking garages located on Front Avenue with plenty of parking spaces. The Riverwalk is wonderful for ziplining walking and biking. White water rafting is also available for adventurous souls. There are areas for children to play.
Love the night walks here!!
Nice place to spend the day
This area is a gem in Columbuss hat! Its one of the main reasons my lovely wife and moved here!Columbus has frequent events here, from (our favorite) Food Truck events to concerts (on both sides of the river!) to nature walks and all the activities that center around the river which separates us from our Sister City, Phenix City, AL and is a short walk (or drive) across the bridge.You can kyakk in the river, fish or just dangle your toes in the cool water!Even better, Historic Downtown is just a short walk from the park and there are plenty of eateries and even a coffee shop or two, imcluding our fave, Iron Bank!Or you can walk the nature trails and in warmer weather, let the little ones run around the mini waterpark!There really is something going on for everyone!
The playground and splash pad are fantastic additions to the park and convenient distance to food and shopping. Theres always a great event going on. With that being said, the old restrooms are atrocious. They are located halfway down the river walk and are never clean. Im always weary of taking my child with me to use it because quite frankly, it doesnt feel safe. Theres always someone lurking outside. With the brand new facilities, I would think you could budget for some restrooms (preferably with a changing station) next to the play area.
Absolutley beautiful! Great place to walk, lots of things to see along the river and really nice restaurants just a couple blocks away
Excellent and safe walking / biking path. Well shaded and peaceful path along the river. Well maintained and love the historical markers and old architecture. Definitely a must visit location.
Great little park between Columbus State University and the river. Good parking and lots to do for a wider angle of kids ages. Awesome place to bring the little ones for a picnic lunch or enjoy the park and the river views.
Great place to take your children on a nice day! Great park with many park pieces for kids to play on. It also has a splash pad for hot days!
This is a place you can bring your kids and be at ease. Nice atmosphere.
Relaxing place to unwind and enjoy the outdoors. Area is well kept and clean. Really enjoyed the views of the river.
Mapping programs dont know how to get here, but nice walk area once arrived. Nice even in the rain. Lots of interesting dining and shops nearby.
The work being done is throwing off the community standards
Great park for kids. Lots of playground equipment and a sizeable splash pad.
Love the playground that accommodates different age ranges. Stimulates many senses. Splash pad makes it even better on a hot summer day!
The River Walk is a good place to start walking, biking and even hanging out. You can find Zipline and enjoy watching people on the river.
Nice quiet walk path site seeing people and the river and people in the river nice park.
White water rapids are full force after hard rains. River Walk is flooded. Waves are rolling in like the ocean. Allot of people enjoying the zip lines today.
Walking along the river is cool. Being able to rent a raft and go down the river is really cool. That whole surrounding area is interesting and nice to look at.
Wonderful place to relax. Beautiful scenery everywhere. Love riding bicycles or walking there. Carry your own drink though as there are no fountains working. 👌
Visiting from fl and was amazing to swim in.
Awesome place to visit especially since it’s close to the best coffee shop in all of God’s creation “Fountain City Coffee” who’s owner is Jud Richardson an awesome guy who has been blessed to have the greatest coffee shop and the staff treat ya like family FCC is a must visit if you ever find yerself within the continental USA it’s worth the drive no matter where yer coming from
Amazing view, entertainment and options. Splash pad, rafting, restaurants, zip line, bars, cozy walks on the riverwalk
Good place to walk by the river. Also a playground for the kids up top.
We stayed at the Marriott on the Phoenix City, AL side. The river walk goes along both sides of the Chatahoochie River. I’m a walker and Columbus is a fabulous place to walk. Right outside of the hotel is a pedestrian bridge that crosses over to the Georgia side of the river walk. From there you can walk along the river walk, vere up to the quaint town of Columbus to visit restaurants and bars. Or even walk through the historic homes of Columbus reading about its early history! Don’t miss “The Island” along the Riverwalk. An old mill that sits alone. Walk out onto The Island and watch the white water rafters take their turns on the rapids!
My kids love this park. Nice to see how its come together over the years.
Kids loved this park
It is a great place for the kids to cool off during the heat and it is right next to a playground. There are several shade trees for the adults as well.
Great place to take your children on a sunny or chilly day. Great water view not close to the play area at all an its also a great place to read a book.
Walk! Jalk! Run! Listen to podcasts. Watch people fish. See couples holding hands. Watch kids take selfies in prom dresses. Ride a bike. Watch others ride bikes. Watch people raft and fall in the water. Raft and fall in the water. Walk your dog. Trip and fall on your butt. Listen to a country concert across the river in Phenix City for free. Look at the white water. Take photos of beautiful sunrises. Read a poem. Read graffiti. Exercise! Breathe! Enjoy!
Nice to walk around! But needs some cleaning up. Otherwise very nice to visit
Some equipment needs repairs, but overall, a great place to take the kids.
I love this places you can go kayaking and stuff on the river. You can walk across the bridge from Georgia to Alabama or Alabama to Georgia. Hope you have fun.
Great place for the kids to have fun and get cool with the water park. So much fun, we drove the hour, one way drive, back the next day!
It just the most beautiful site to see. Especially when the fall season begins to kick off and the leaves are different colors and falling out of trees. #New Beginnings /New Year
The place has spectacular view on Chattahoochee river.
Too cool to walk from 1 state to another
I sat there and ate my lunch. It was nice to see the kids playing as the parents overlook. It was November so no splash pad.
Great park when you Early gets crowded later in the day.
Fun for everybody young and old

2022-04-19Overall great place to get out and get some exercise and fresh air. Beautiful place to walk and a lot of good views to choose from. I would recommend coming here or bringing the kids out to play seems like a safe environment and close to downtown entertainment and food
Review №2
2022-03-05Its always a nice experience. A lot of families right at the front, near the park and by the white water island in front of the loft. There are a lot of runners and a few bikers.

2022-06-09A very impressive river walk experience. Had a nice time.
Review №5
2022-05-11Such a great park. The playground equipment is relatively new and well maintained. The Riverwalk itself is so fun to enjoy as a family and when the splash pad is working/open it’s that much more fun!

2022-04-03My daughter loves going there to ride her bike and play on the playground. Only issue is have is the limited parking spaces available. Other than that its an amazing place to take your child to play.

2021-09-10Very interesting place with many things to do. We spend a couple hours overlooking the park from a restaurant having beer on the patio. Its also a couple blocks from the entertainment district for places to eat and drink.

2022-04-05The Columbus Riverwalk is one of the highlights of the city. With all the new restaurants and bars downtown, you can truly spend an entire Saturday downtown and not run out of things to do. We went to a food truck festival recently and the venue was set up very well. If I was rating the festival, Id give it a zero because of the lines. But this is a park review. Take your dog and your family and leave the phones in your pockets. You wont regret it.

2022-02-11Great place for an early morning run. Stay on the lighted path because the homeless population are probably present. Also, there are some construction fencing near the park but it doesnt block the entrance to the trail.
