Riverdale Park, Public park in Toronto, Canada

Riverdale Park spans 104 acres across the Lower Don River, featuring sports fields, tennis courts, a swimming pool, and an outdoor hockey rink.

The park opened in 1880 on land formerly owned by John Scadding, one of Toronto's first settlers who built a cabin there in 1794.

The park hosts summer movie nights where families gather with picnics to watch PG-rated films under the stars at dusk.

Visitors can access the park through a footbridge that crosses the Don Valley Parkway, connecting both sides of the valley with the Lower Don Recreational Trail.

The eastern section of the park, used as a landfill in the 1920s, has green exhaust pipes along Broadview Avenue to release methane gas.
