Love Riverfest and the food truck festival! Great variety of food, had a lobster roll one day, breakfast cheese tots the next morning and the Puerto Rican truck has pernil, on fried mac and cheese, amazing (though long wait, was worth it). Smooth jazz was playing early in the morning with my breakfast, was so relaxing people watching.

Great place to spend the afternoon or just a few minutes. I always love looking around here and its also fun to take a walk across the founders Bridge into Great River Park across the river.

A nice little gem in Hartford almost hidden away. During the spring and summer months they have a lot of social events like food truck days, yoga, barre classes and different local music talents that play during the lunch period. Lots of good eateries near by too.

I like going here for the view and sit and relax. One of my favorite places in Hartford. The water fountain as been broken for weeks and I am hella dyhydrated. In the state of Arizona it is illegal to not offer a person a glass of water.

Wonderful place to go for a walk during your lunch brake alone or with a friend to decompress or work on your fitness. Clean and never over crowded (events excluded).I like going here to think or play pokemon Go since there are quite a few gyms and stops here if youre in to that sort of thing. Dont you judge me gosh darn it!!

Plenty of parking nearby. Very accessible, including for wheelchairs. The trees have grown in beautifully & provide welcome shade. Also, the waterside paths to Riverside Park to the north & Charter Oak Landing to the south are finished & join the bridge connections to the riverside park in East Hartford, so there is more to experience on the river (fishing; waterskiing; rowing; boating; kayaking; jogging trails; etc.). Awesome job, Hartford, and special thanks to Riverside Recapture for all their hard work.

This is one of my favorite places to go for a walk. Theres usually other people around at certain times, but you can go other times and not worry about a lot of foot traffic. The view and scenery is amazing to say the least especially because its tucked away next to downtown Hartford.
