Riverview Park is the largest park in Independence. Located downtown between C and B Street, the park is home to the Independence Amphitheater, the Bicycle-Boater Campground and a large playground. For mapping purposes, use 50 C Street to locate the park and provide driving directions.

Completed in 2005, the Riverview Park Amphitheater is the centerpiece of Riverview Park. In 2008, a sparkling fountain was added to the Plaza Level, welcoming visitors to Independence. The amphitheater hosts numerous events including the 8 week River’s Edge summer movie and concert series.

Riverview Park is also the starting point for the Willamette River Trail, a 5k soft-surface path that loops north along the Willamette River providing excellent river views and birdwatching. In 2014 a disc golf course was installed in Riverview Park.

## Bicycle-Boater Campground

Independence’s Riverview Park is home to a biker/boater campground for travelers on the Willamette River Water Trail and the Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway. The campground is nestled along the beautiful Willamette River and is 1 block away from a bustling downtown district with local food, drink, and entertainment.

The campground is exclusively for bicyclists and boaters. Overnight vehicle parking is not allowed in Riverview Park.

Development of the property was funded through Cycle Oregon and a Recreation Trails Grant from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.
