From the website "Come spend some much-needed time outdoors at Alton's gorgeous Riverfront Park. Home to a 4,000-seat amphitheater that hosts live concerts and performances, festivals, fairs, outdoor movie events, and more- plus several miles of manicured walking trails- the park is a great place to get some exercise and admire the mighty Mississippi. The amphitheater operates spring through fall and the park is open all year.

Riverfront Park is within walking distance from downtown Alton restaurants and shopping by crossing a footbridge over Landmarks Boulevard. The park has walking/biking trails, a summer splash pad for kids, is a docking location for passing riverboat cruises, is close to a casino and marina, and is a great location to watch fireworks over the river, take photos of wildlife, and see the Clark Bridge. The walking trails through Riverfront Park connect two Madison County Transit trails including one that traverses the Great River Road and another that leads all the way to Granite City and the old Chain of Rocks Bridge."

The playground has one play structure with slides, a pretend window, a bridge, tic tac toe board, bubble window, tunnel, and bars and pole. 

Covered pavilion

The splash pad was installed in 2021 and it incorporates Alton staples like a riverboat and eagles. It's open every day from 10 am - 5 pm.

The frog and steamboat are slides. So cool!

The splash pad is enclosed with a fence and has restrooms next door. The amphitheater is next door as well.
