Signature Events
Annual Fun Run and Walk
The 11th annual fun run and walk scheduled for May 30, 2020 has been postponed until the early fall.
The health and safety of our community is our first priority. We feel this is the best and most responsible course of action.
Thank you so much to our early bird teams and participants, sponsors and volunteers who have been eager to help Riverview Park and Zoo in our fundraising goals. All Early Bird registrations and funds raised will received full refunds.
The Fun Run is a vital fundraiser for Riverview Park and Zoo. Those interested in supporting this year’s goal: the expansion of the cat exhibit, home to the Eurasian Lynx and Servals, can donate to support our efforts.
The Riverview Park and Zoo staff, management and the Fun Run and Walk planning committee, want to thank all involved for their ongoing understanding and support. Information regarding the new event date will be released by the end of June.
Summer Sunday Concerts in the Park
Every other Sunday the park fills with music. Join us at the Gazebo to listen to fabulous local bands playing a variety of music genres.
