Feel like going out tonight but don't feel like dressing up and dealing with too much glitz? Then head to Morgan's Tavern in Riverside. This is one of those places that could be categorized as a “dive bar,” but in the case of Morgan's, that's entirely a good thing! This charmingly unassuming nightlife hangout features karaoke, music videos, an excellent jukebox and a full bar. There's even an inviting patio area to enjoy if you feel like taking in the night air.
For fun, exhilaration, and exercise, hit the trail! But this just isn't any ordinary trek, this is the popular Santa Ana River Trail. This is an extensive, winding trail that runs along the Santa Ana River and offers walkers, hikers, joggers and bikers an excellent way to get out of the city and get closer to nature while getting some great exercise. The path stretches out over 70 miles, so there is plenty of room for you and your fellow trail-dwellers.
Sometimes, it is best just to let your kids run free and let them explore some wide open spaces. Finding such a destination isn't as hard as you think when you plan for an active afternoon of fun at Riverside's Bordwell Park. This popular attraction has been newly refurbished and features new playground equipment plus a few surprises. These include the recent addition of a climbing wall and upgraded basketball courts and ball fields.
