Waterfront Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Waterfront Park is a public riverside park that features a load of benches, picnic areas, open areas, and walking/biking paths. This is a great place to run at sunrise since there usually aren't a ton of people out yet, and the water keeps the area cool. Everything here is paved, so road running shoes are all you need.
