Visit on weekday mornings between 8-11 AM to avoid crowds and heat, especially during summer months. Spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) offer the most comfortable weather for extended outdoor play. Weekends tend to be busier, particularly Saturday afternoons.

The Riverwalk is free to visit with street parking available nearby. Operating hours are limited to weekdays 8 AM-5 PM, with the park closed on weekends, so plan accordingly. Bring your own snacks and drinks, as dining options directly on-site are minimal.

The splash pad typically operates during warmer months (late spring through early fall). Summer can be very hot and humid, so morning visits are recommended. Spring and fall offer the most pleasant weather for extended outdoor activities. The park is closed on weekends year-round.
