Riverside Park in other cities:
Its a quiet little park with plenty of scenery though nestled in Auburn Hills downtown. Recently renovated so theres much better parking and walking. The shallow Clinton River is playground to ducks, geese, the occasional crane, and human fishermen, too. For the younger humans, the playground is nice. This park is well appreciated by local folk and commuters alike.
My kids had a wonderful experience. The only thing that I would suggest is to have a place such as a kiosk machine where I can make a purchase for the kids to play at the waterpark with my credit card. Other than that everything was wonderful. The kids had a great time. And I love being upgrades.
The playground is nice and my son loves all the slides. The water is good to I just discovered the place a couple weeks ago bought a couple trout lures n I went fishing as well I seen other guys catching a bunch last time I was there I only caught one but it fell off hook when pulling it out of water. The nature there is fantastic as well and the patio is a great place to sit and chill. The summer festival was a blast my son had an awesome time he even talked to a police officer and he gave him a police badge sticker, my son was so happy even when he changed his shirt he wanted his badge on it. The food is all very good taste great and all the kid volunteers are friendly and cheerful. I would reccomend it to anyone.
Lovely park! It was a beautiful day to check this park out. My family and I headed over to Quickly Boba Tea then walked to this park (a quick 3-4 min walk). The splash was closed and so were the larger pavilions, but there were still plenty of picnic tables to eat our lunch at. The park has the clinton river running through it and wasnt too crowded. The park was clean and overall it was a great park to just relax at.
The new splash pad is alright..with all the little ones and dogs playing in the water they tend to get real close to the stairs..I would have not made it so close but im not the designer lol. We ended up going down to the river to let the kids play like we did when their parents were little. Nice place to play.
It is a small park near downtown Auburn Hills. This park has a nice updated amphitheater with teared seating either on the edge or bring a chair. Some nice features of the park, currently it has paintings featured from Detroit Institute of Arts, as well as music playing in the speakers throughout the day near the walkway along the street. There is a nice pavilion for large gatherings, a well maintained play area and walking paths along the river.
Beautiful place to relax, the only downside is how much glass is in the river. Breaks my heart that people would be so careless and irresponsible. Twice a week my significant other and I would go down with three grocery bags wade and pick up glass....we filled them everytime. Itd be a blessing to see others chip in and ensure the safety of our communitys feetsies! Ill attach one 2 minute pass through the water, mind you we snagged 3 bags on multiple occasions. Get it together people, this is unacceptable!!!!
Beautiful parkFollow the trails. Pause on the bridge to take in the sights and sounds of the Clinton River below. Let the little ones play on the play area with different activities. Stop by the beautiful covered picnic area that can be reserved. Admire the large fireplace inside . Get in a game of hoops, or just be a spectator. Plenty of parking.
A lovely spot with a view of the stream! Splash pad for kids. Pavilion with picnic tables and other picnic tables scattered around. Bathrooms. Nice to see the park has a ramp for good accessibility. I was glad to find the additional parking as the lot on Auburn is tiny.
Very nice little park! I take my lab here to swim all the time in the little beachy area and she loves it. There is also a newly updated jungle gym and a new splash pad for kids. I dont have any kids but the kids always look like they are having fun lol there is also a large Pavillion and lots of room to bring chairs and sit, overall I would definitely recommend this park to everyone!
I stay near AH Downtown.Its an everyday ritual for me and my hubby to visit this park during the evening hours. This park indeed embarks a positive energy in mind and body. With mesmemerizing river path,we sometimes take our hammock, create little bbq picnic without any hassle.It has a very nice play area for kids.And the open air theater of the park adds spark to my Fridays with beautiful live band performances.The summer in this park has been such a blessing after a traumatizing year of 2020.It is so clean & well maintained.
This park has a very nice atmosphere and is very clean. Unfortunately there is a very limited amount of swings. 1 child swing that is plastic with a harness, one normal bigger kid swing, 1 dual swing for a kid or adult/baby infant swing and 1 infant swing. Overall a good place to take your kids.
This small amphitheater is excellent for small get together and celebrations. Have seen schools participate in it. Good parking facility nearby.There is a river flowing nearby with ducks in them, fun to watch them.We have a good time every time we go there, though we visit very rarely.
A beautiful small get away spot. Decent concerts for summer time, family movies on the big screen, & a pleasure to walk along the Clinton River. A good place to exercise, eat lunch, &/or just vibe w/nature. Use ones feet to walk, legs to cycle, ears to hear music, & eyes to appreciate...
We recently stumble upon this park and we enjoyed hanging there. We found some ducks by the river and my kids ended up taking their shoes off to get into the clear and shallow water. It is a pretty park, a really peaceful place, it also has a playground, we deflinetly are coming back soon.
Such a nice park! It was pretty clean and I love the river running through it! The only downside is if you are not a resident or Auburn Hills you have to pay $3 for kids to use the splash pad, which is super small and not worth $3. Its is pretty ridiculous, especially since there is a river the kids can play in for free right next to it.
Park has a lot of potential, but needs some work near the water (landscaping or docks). See people fishing in the river quite often and lots of people getting use of the park. Park is quite small and has a lot of amenities which makes it feel more cramped at busier times.The biggest downside and the main reason for a lower review is there is trash visible in the river and on the ground every time we visit.
This park features a bend in the Clinton River thats great for wading, swimming, and putting in kayaks in season. On the other side of the park, theres a playground and new splash pad open free to the public. The park can be navigated by a paved party that circles around, great for biking or roller blading. There are wheelchair/stroller accessible paths, and a shelter with picnic tables. Also new is an amphitheater where they feature music on certain days in summer.
I love the wooden bridge over the rushing and clear Clinton River and the trails through many woods and meadows. There is a covered picnic area with restrooms and a nice playscape for children. Its near downtown Auburn Hills and has free parking. Basketball court and skate park are nearby
Nice little park to take your kids out to the playground in downtown auburn hills. Clinton river runs through it so you can also fish during the season. Very clean park and across the street are subway, liquor store, and some other few stores. Its dog friendly but your dog would have to be on a leash and also pick up after your dog.
We have always loved this park, but quite frankly are extremely disappointed in the upgrades. The Splash Park or pad looks very lame and uninviting. The new seating for the amphitheater looks like patrons will be sitting with the sun in their face. Poor designing. Plus there are cement steps adjacent to the splash pad which just looks like a danger waiting to happen. Underwhelmed.
Saw a concert at the Knight Amphitheatre. The City of Aubutn Hills has concerts here every Friday during the summer. They have concessions you can purchase or you van bring your own picnic. Dont forget your law chair and they even have a dance floor and splash pad. Restroom facilities are clean and tidy. Its apparent that the City of AH takes good care of its public spaces.
A great place to bring the family, hold outside parties in the pavilion, and you can even bring your pets (as long as they are on a leash, AND you clean up any messes they make!). This is a GREAT place for Pokémon hunting, as it has a Poké gym, and 3 Poké towers, 2 of the Poké towers and the Poké gym are accessible right from the two parking lots (the one tower near the parking lot off of Auburn Rd, and the other tower and the Poké gym at the parking lot off of Squirrel Rd!)!

2022-06-26Nice quiet place to take a walk alone and meditate or take the children to play on the playground or watch the ducks swim in the stream, lately they have been having summer festivals and concerts on the weekends. Next weekend they will be having a event for children

2022-06-23Best spot to enjoy the Clinton River in Auburn Hills, not to mention has a decent splash pad. Walk along a wide open stretch of the river with spots for the kids to enjoy wading or even swimming, curves around half the park. Rough on parking some days but all in all a great local resource!

2021-07-11PLAY STRUCTURE: perfect for big and little kids. Newer style structure with multiple slides and add-on structures. Spacious on and around structure.SMALL SWING SET. HAS secure seating g for older child with special needs, baby seating but only one regular swing 🤷♀️. Kids waited and waited wanting to swing but no chance.Bathroom facility with electricity.Nice walking paths, bbq grills,, views of river, picnic seating and plenty of space for groups.DISLIKES:1) THE WOOD CHIPS AROUND STRUCTURE.most parks now use up upcycled tire pieces that dont harm little feet.2) small swing set.

2022-06-25Riverside Park....a beautiful park in downtown Auburn Hills. The Clinton River is the boundary for the north side of the park. Childrens play scapes and water works are new additions to the park and make the park perfect for families. There is a covered Pavillion with picnic tables for parties, and other gatherings. Must be reserved to guarantee availability.The Wright Amphitheater with stadium seating is great for the Friday evening summer entertainment. Food, beverages, ice cream is available a very short walk from the park on the main street, Auburn Road. Bikers and walkers also love this park!
