Weekdays are the play here: reviewers report free parking, cheap tickets and no lines. Reliability is the catch. Several rides were closed for refurbishment or staffing, including ones sized for the smallest kids. Bathroom reports conflict, clean in one review and mosquito-ridden in another.
Classic family amusement park with rides, four mini-golf courses, an arcade, and a summer water area.

We had an amazing family day at Castle Park Riverside! My kids absolutely loved the variety of games and the carnival atmosphere. The mini-golf course was definitely their favorite part—it’s very well-themed and fun for all ages. We’ll definitely be coming back for more family bonding time!

We went yesterday 6/14/26. Paid $289 for 6 tickets and 1 parking pass. Arrived at opening time which was noon. Checking in was easy. Walking into the park was empty, only a few rides were open. It took them a good 2 hours to get most of the rides going. I've noticed 3 rides were unavailable for the day due to being shut down. People were more utilizing the buccaneers cove (splash pad) rather than the park It was nice having the park to ourselves. My kids got to go on rides multiple times with no lines. The only thing I will complain about is the bathroom is infested with mosquitos. Literally all over and in the bathroom stalls. Other than that it is a cheap way to keep the kids entertained.
