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.
It's always a good idea to frequently check out the entertainment schedule at the Riverside Municipal Auditorium if you are a big fan of music, drama, and other types of performances. This is the city's premier place to catch the best in live music or various types of stage productions. The sound system and acoustics are excellent, the seating area is comfortable and affords great stage views, and the quality of what's happening in the spotlight will keep you coming back for various engagements time and time again.
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.
