The view was pretty. There wasn't a lot of people around and was pretty quiet. It has been raining a lot so the river was pretty flooded but other than that my family had a lot of fun.
Great park with plenty of things to do for everyone to keep you busy or just relax and enjoy the scenery. Alone or with friends or family you can go take a walk, tube or boat down the river or take the children to play at the playground or take your four legged best friend for a walk .This park has spots that keep you from baking in the sun. There are special events held in the theater area sometimes that include musical artists singing a tune or entertainers performing an act including vendors selling goods at times and etc... but when that's not happening you can enjoy a good time or get a bite to eat at the local small businesses in downtown Independence.
I spent my Birthday at the Willamette River collecting shells and small colorful pebbles (bright orange are my favorite) for my Xmas Masons Jar craft. Made myself a healthy lunch, listened to my favorite jams, and wrote in my journal to memorate my special day. The river is clean, great fun for dates, family time, or taking your watercraft out for a spin. No public bathrooms on the river available(River Park has public bathrooms.) You can drive&park your vehicle on the bank of the river. The bank is pretty rocky, be sure to take chairs for comfort. Coolers with food and drinks(no glass) allowed. Free life jackets and air pump for bicycles are available. The best part is it's all FREE! 🤣
