Cool place by the water I like it to pass the time to relax. There is even a lower level to be up close to the river, you can even sit by the rocks. Just don't go there at night. You can slip and break your neck walking on those rocks....LOL I like the Restaurant there, it large and classy inside its cool because in the middle of all the greenery :P Seasons/Hours: The park is open year round - 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Ice skating November to March (weather permitting) - roller skating the rest of the year.Riverbank is the only park of its kind in the Western Hemisphere.
