Facilities

Riverside is a 16 acre park on the Huron River in the center of Ypsilanti, linking downtown and Depot Town. It is the home to various  events.  Between these events, it hosts activities such as bicycling, dog walking, picnicking, fishing, and sunbathing. The park is part of the Washtenaw County Border to Border Trail as well as part of the Huron River Water Trail.
 
 A universal design play structure was installed in December 2018, in honor of local leader, Liz Dahl MacGregor. 
 Parking is available on the north end of the park, off Cross Street, just west of the river from 7am to 8pm; parking is also available to the south of the park, accessed via an alley just west of 6 W Michigan.
 
Pedestrians and bicyclists may access the site from the two parking areas; they may also access the site via the Tridge & Frog Island parking lot to the north; Riverside Arts Center plaza staircase to the west; the staircase west of the river to the south adjacent to 2 W Michigan; or the Ypsilanti Heritage Bridge east of the river to the south. The Tridge access, north parking lot access, south parking lot access, and Heritage Bridge access are all accessible.
