Get Up! Get Active!
Did you know: There’s a map showing different routes for walking/biking/running in Riverview Park. There’s a 3-mile route, along with two half-mile routes and a third-mile route. The new trails, Soap Hollow and White Pines, are measured so fitness enthusiasts can know how far they travel when exercising in our beautiful Riverview Park. The map is available at
