Need to clean up. The bathrooms are functional, thats about the best I can say about them. The people hanging out on the docks need to be moved, and the area cleaned of fishing junk and garbage, also the derelict boat needs to go. Could be nice with a park with a little work.
Park is great for going on walks and at the same time staying socially distance. It is dog friendly and also a great place to fish for those that like that.
We used the free dock. Safe to come in even deep keel. Great spot for tying up and walking around town. Not a ton of useful stores nearby, NAPA is an 8 block walk. Nowhere to get much in the way of other supplies.
Very quiet well shaded. A fun park for the little ones. Good fishing. Just a all around nice place.
The playground at South is amazing my kids absolutely loved it theres nice lacrosse area picnic tables Shady places for the adults to sit a separate baby area for the young ones to play the rest of the park The Monuments were beautiful the grass was well kept bathrooms or not the worst but not that clean tons of nice little dogs and things a lot of people fishing having fun a lot of people walking around to get the exercise very beautiful
Love how the park is set up safely for the kiddos. Different size playgrounds for all ages and only one way in and out to keep the little ones from running.
Lots of fun for young children. Overlooking the river, which is a nice view.
Great place.... Right on the intercoastal can watch the boats go by and a great Park to walk in... Has two restrooms and a great fishing pier .. wonderful place to sit and watch!!!!!!
Great for fishing and kids have a great play ground! Nice place e for a picnic.
Loved learning about the history of new smyrna here! clean bathrooms
This was the first time I had been to Images Art Festival. It was GREAT! The BIGGEST downside is there is virtually NO PARKING! They really need to use a school and other facilities with large parking lots & have shuttle buses. As a handicapped person, Id gladly pay a small fee for that convenience! Its really needed! Also some of the areas (student art, kids interactive art & the spirit garden) were on grass that should have been recently cut; it had NOT. I fell because of it!
Very nice place to be by the water. Plenty of space for fishing. Good chance of seeing a dolphin.
It was amazing. So relaxing when you go by a walk. It was really fun and attractive.
Beautiful park on the intracoastal! A favorite place for walking, fishing, bike riding, or just enjoying being outside in a peaceful setting
Great fishing location, my personal favorite. And the park makes it easy to bring along the kiddos to run off their energy. I really do like the new playground, makes the place nicer.
I go there everyday, my dog loves it there. She has sniffed every blade of grass
We were bored sitting at home during this pandemic and decided to grab our keys and go for a ride in the car. We ended up by Riverside Park. It wasnt crowded so we put our masks on and walked along the waterway. Such a pretty view there. Raised our spirits a little.
Nice little spot to relax, fish, walk the dog or let the kiddos play!
It is such a beautiful spot to go and unwind from the world!
No social distancing! There are people who have Health Problems that Only go to the Beach ️ once in a while; No One should have to die because of Selfish people! For God Sake Please Wear A Mask or Social Distancing!!!
Home away from home, huge playground, 3 nice fishing piers with a nice sized boat dock and all close to the bathroom.
SO MUCH FUN! It’s been remodeled and it feels so much safer than rainbow park!!
Nicely kept, good outdoor place for walking and fishing
We love that Park we go there all the time and the fishing is great
Well maintained dock and fishing area. The parking can be tight at times, but overall a great area to watch boats pass by
Really nice walking park and good fishing spots as well its just really rocky around there
Nice cool seabrease people are friendly and also most looking forward into moving out in that area New Smyrna Beach!
There are a number of people fishing..hard to find a spot. But a nice place.
Fishing at its best. Veterans memorials. Thank you to all the people who take care of the park and making it an enjoyable place.
A calm, spacious place to be. Down on the Intracoastal water way in New Smyrna Beach. I had gotten a take out order and sat down on a bench to eat my food. I saw several people fishing, many people were walking their dogs. They have a nice playground for children to play. There were nice rest rooms for the publics use. A nice place to spend some quiet time on the water front.
Great space for dogs. They have 2 parks, one for large and one for small dogs..., And my only Concern is they dont have trash bins around for the left overs their food
Its pretty but busy.
Good place to find some shade (under the overpass), watch the seabirds,reflect on life, watch the river boats and see lucky fishermen catching dinner!
Went here alot when i was little, mainly to the playground we called the Wood Park, but one day when we went there i was heartbroken to see that the intricate wood structures and the marker stained walls were replaced with plastic, overly safe, boring things for literal babies. I still hold this place deep in my heart.
The beach is so amazing you can chill and relax when youre not in mood but the other side of the beach is a little bit trashy
Awesome fishing. Caught my 1st hammerhead shark
While I understand that certain things will be closed because of COVID-19, If you are going bathrooms, close the parking lot and other entrances into the park. It is very inconvenient to have bathrooms closed and yet parking and the pier open. I had to use a bush in a secluded spot because I had need of bathroom and no minutes to drive to one. Reopen bathrooms if park is open!
The park is nice however the pier needs some love and care the bathrooms were clean
Peaceful spot to walk along the Intracoastal waterway. We enjoyed Images Art Festival the last weekend in January when many artists display their work in this area.
There is parking under the overpass just off of riverside drive. There are benches, and its a great place to watch the river from your car or the benches. People bring their lunch there ; some come to fish. The only sound is the traffic running overhead, or the occasional bird. Worth a visit.
Love This Park U Just Relax and chill
Pretty area. Safe during the day.
Had a great time fishing with my family
A lot of homeless drinking/smoking Marijuana. Rude, local people on fishing dock that think they own the dock and try to keep others from fishing. Can be hostile at times. Dont recommend going after dark!
Fishing 24/7 mostly shaded in the day. Clean restrooms
If you like finding needles while you walk around. Also homeles sleepingin their carsq, or watching people people throwing their empty beer cans into the ocean. Then this is your place to be.
Great views, perfect place for sunset photos! Lots of quaint little businesses..
Inspiring and sobering. Thank you to all who serve and protect.
Is very pleasant and a very nice place to visit
Great newly renovated park for young ones. Right on the river with a great view and nice fishing spots and a small boat dock. Ice cream truck even stops by
Really cool I love being there! The people were so nice!
Outstanding play to go fishing and take your kids to the park. They have a clean public restroom. There is plenty of parking and access for people with wheel chairs. Entrance is free. Parking is free. Fishing is free. You just need to adhere to local fishing laws.Over all we had a great time teaching the little ones how to fish. One of the perks is that it is located under a bridge so if it rains you wont get wet. I suggest bringing your own bait prior to arriving. You wont find any bait here. There is an ice cream truck that comes periodically so that is a good thing. Hope this review and pictures help. Thumb it up!
Nice place to take the kids, however docks are usually crowded on the weekends and the fishing here is subpar. Parking can be a real pain, but it isnt horrible.
Gorgeous and very very clean..I loved it
Visited by boat this time. Tied up to dock, ate lunch, let the dogs walk.
They have the best onion soup...
Excellent park to practice Yoga!
Very clean and my daughter loves the playground
We visited this park during an art show. Quate park with lovely views. The art show was large and very well managed. The lay out route was easy to follow so we could see all the exhibitors.
A beautiful park. Lots of things to do, and there is always something going on. The playground is so much fun for kids. You can fish, walk, skate,etc
Beautiful little park! I loved it and have been trying to get back to enjoy it
The wife and I caught a historical event very cool. The surrounding shops and eateries NOLA kind of vibe
This is a very spacious and well maintained park with outstanding views. My daughter loves it and we will make it a regular place to visit.
Beautiful park and so clean
Great park to spend a day
Nice Family place to spend the day
Such a nice park, but finding off street parking is hard on weekends
Beautiful view saw some manatees, dolphins, and some pelicans.
A Friend and I went to a Blues Concert at the Brannon Center on Riverside Dr in New Smyrna Beach on Feb 8th where the old Library use to be.The Band playing wasSmoke House by Pat Rat and his Band Members.The Concert was Good.They had a Packed House.
If its the first place that I can honestly remember me and my grandma used to go fishing when I was a kid first place I did a backflip off of Manatee Park first time I cant say that but it was a good memory at the Manatee Park
Nice park. Great for fishing. Unfortunately the homeless take over the pavilion most days. But for a nice stroll with your dog. Its great.
Fishing is good lots of space. Good playground for the kids to play public restrooms and beached boats after the hurricane
I love to fish there
Great spot, had a lot of fun fishing!
Meet good people there
Its a beautiful seen, also very peaceful
Very clean. Peaceful with great view. And the grandkids loved the playground. Recommend to anyone wanting to relax or take your kids to play
Nice New Smyrna park on water by downtown
Nice place for an evening walk.
Beautiful scenery, birds, and dolphins too!
Love it here . Always catch something .
Beautiful park with an amazing view, it is perfect for a wedding venue or a big company party!!
It was a good a good park it had restrooms water fountains and fishing docks but it was really crowded
Cute n quite
Ive been coming here since I was a kid. Its still is as fun as it was then as it is now. A lot to do with great fishing.
Amazing place to relax, bring fido, picnic, fish, walk, jog, enjoy the scenic water way.....in the heart of New Smyrna Beach..

Great place for families, playground for the kids, fishing pier, Brandon center is there too, sometimes they have events there.
The was very nice and a wonderful place for friends and family and the place for the children to play and have a good time and to be safe.
