Riverfront Park is located along the Columbia Canal, which was completed in 1824 and is one of the oldest canals in the United States.
The park is home to the Columbia Waterworks building, which dates back to 1906 and is a significant piece of the city's industrial history.
The park's diverse habitats, including wetlands and woodlands, attract a variety of bird species, making it a favorite among local birdwatchers.
The Columbia Canal was strategically important during the Civil War, and remnants of the era can still be seen in the park today.
The park is a key segment of the Three Rivers Greenway, a network of trails that connect several parks and natural areas in the Columbia region.
The park hosts various community events throughout the year, including outdoor concerts and festivals, drawing locals and visitors alike.
