Withrow Park

Withrow Park is a green space in Riverdale with sports fields, an ice rink, tobogganing hills, and tree-lined paths running across the area. The site contains baseball diamonds, soccer fields, and facilities for winter activities.

The park was founded in 1910 and named after John Jacob Withrow, a local landowner with important connections to the city's development. The naming reflects his role in shaping the region's growth.

Theater performances and a weekly farmers market take place here, where you can find local produce and handmade goods. These regular events bring neighbors together and shape how the community uses the space.

The park is open year-round and free to visit, making it easy to stop by for sports or a walk with family. Winter brings ice skating and sledding opportunities, while the warmer months are better for field activities.

The ice rink gained attention in 2008 when a professional hockey team held a practice session there to celebrate its renovation. This event brought the park into the spotlight for sports fans across the city.
