Neighborhoods

The best part of the River Road neighborhood is the river. There is a lovely pedestrian and bike path that follows the river for several miles. It’s either one long park or a series of several parks, including grass fields, playgrounds, and the rose garden. It’s an easy way to access downtown, the Valley River Center shopping area, bowling, and Alton Baker Park.
