RiversEdge Park

✓ Verified 2026-summer

A newer downtown Southbank destination that is really four parks in one: the Big Heart playground for ages 5-12 has a carousel, huge swings, and a climbing zone, while the Little Heart area serves ages 2-5 with kid-sized swings and tunnel slides. Cooling misters, an outdoor gym, and a marsh boardwalk keep the whole family occupied.
