Riverside Park Tours

Take some time out from the hustle and bustle at Riverside Park. There's nothing like a bit of fresh air and greenery to restore your strength and energy.

Riverside Park is a great place to begin your day of discovery in Athens. This recreation and green space is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Save time for other sights like University of Georgia, Sanford Stadium, and The Georgia Theatre to fully appreciate what the area has to offer.

8.2/10 Very Good! (1,020 reviews)
Cozy, unique property with good location. Disappointed weather precluded use of pool. Main complaint-not enough electrical outlets, none by the bed, and two of the few did not work to charge devices when the light was off (as in all night). They need to upgrade that aspect.
