beautiful river front park that is very substantial has many large shady trees , a very smooth path for running ;jogging walking or even biking - also strategically place clean public rest rooms - very family feel to the place
We love to walk along the river choosing various locations from which to begin. Often it's a busy place but occasionally you find yourself alone watching the river flow by, viewing the statuary there, or even choosing a bench to sit on to watch people or just to meditate. We often stop at Pybus Market or at the Crepery for a snack or lunch.
Very well maintained walk/park along the Columbia river through downtown leading to a nature reserve Interesting art/ sculptures big childrens playground Good toilets! We were there in late November so trees flowers etc not at their best.
Riverfront Park has a nice paved walkway, with great views of the water and nearby mountains. I liked the sculptures and flower garden along way too, they were very pretty.
We were staying overnight in Wenatchee and wanted a place to walk. So we walked around the park a bit, just before sunset. People were running and cycling, and we felt safe. The city has done a nice job with the pedestrian bridge across the railroad tracks.
The Washington State Apple Blossom in Wenatchee, Washington is always fun to attend. The main parade is the first Saturday in May. May 2, 2015 is the next parade. After the parade it's so nice to go to the Riverfront Park and watch people enjoying themselves. Since there are boat / jet ski launches at Wenatchee Confluence State Park and another near Pybus Public Market people can bring their boat, jet ski, kayak and everything else and play on the Columbia River. And not just during Apple Blossom but play on the Columbia River all Summer long. There is also swimming at Walla Walla Park. The Riverfront Park is a very nice place to picnic too. And while your there The Pybus Public Market is another very nice place to visit.
Really nice park, I would recomend to everyone. They have a great bike/walking path that does a loop around to other side of the Columbia River. Access it from the area around Phybus Public Market-another must do stop. We happened upon a linemen rodeo when we were there. Fun to watch.
Very nice riverwalk near Cashmere. Parking is nearby but mostly on the street. Gets busy in the spring and after because it is more of a seasonal type area.
This is one of my favorite places to walk or bike and could be a reason to go to Wenatchee just for this. The Osprey nest right off the trail is a huge bonus when the family is in the nest. I've never seen the trail too crowded so it is good for all, young and old.
A stroll along the Columbia River at the riverfront park, is enhanced by the lovely scultpures and gardens scattered along the path. An experience to be taken more than once!
