Connecticut River Walk and Bikeway - Springfield, MA

Such a great program that has been brought to Springfield MA, out door salsa music! In a beautiful park setting, and the lovely view of the river! It’s from 4-8 pm on Sundays. The last event will be Sunday 09/15, but that event will at MGM but outdoor as well. Ppl bring their lawn chairs, tents , pop up tents for shade and big blankets to have a picnic while listening to beautiful music and spending time with your family or friends. Safe and friendly environment.
And they have about 5 food trucks and a guy selling gelato ( we had the coconut one) yum! Parking is a little challenge. I ended up parking at Insa , and then just walked a the way down , then some stairs and then your at the park and event.
They do have a slash pads for the kids. And they do have porta potties .
And once that is over at 8 pm, head over to MGM for some gambling. And check out their food court.

I was looking for a place to get a run in while visiting - so this ended up being a good option. The trail itself ended up being shorter than I thought it would be, but it was quiet and right along the river throughout, with nice views of the bridge and the sunset.

The Connecticut Riverwalk and Bikeway in Springfield, Massachusetts is a wonderful destination for anyone looking to explore the natural beauty of the area. The trail stretches for over 3 miles along the banks of the Connecticut River, offering stunning views of the water and the surrounding landscape.

One of the highlights of the trail is the bike path, which is well-maintained and provides a smooth ride for cyclists of all levels. The path is also wide enough to accommodate pedestrians, joggers, and rollerbladers, making it a great place to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities.

The Connecticut Riverwalk and Bikeway is also home to a number of interesting sights and attractions, including the Basketball Hall of Fame and the Springfield Armory National Historic Site. There are also several parks and picnic areas along the trail, making it easy to take a break and enjoy a scenic lunch or snack.

So close to being a 5 star trail, honestly it is. My gripes are that it is a little short, it was not clear how to get to the trail from the train station, and the homeless camp under the bridge was a bit sketchy. Other than those problems this is a really nice trail that appears to be either well maintained, or just really well respected by the community. For the most part the landscape was great and I would go back again.

The view is really nice with the backdrop of the downtown behind. This could be a very good option for family. But its not that clean. Mosquitoes are everywhere as the small bushes of side of the bikeway are not trimmed. Evening time is not so great for family.

Had a blast at the Puerto Rican festival🇵🇷 !! Music was great and everyone young and old had fun!! Can't wait till next year. Great park overall, water area for the kids and nice views of the river and bridge. Love our little memorial for 9/11. My only complaint is the entrance. Need a better way for those with mobility issues to get their. Stairs are hard and the long walk to get in is a pain.

I come here at least twice a week to walk my dog. We love it! We usually walk to the left past the hall of fame then turn back around to the parking lot. It’s really nice in the summer during sunset. Lots of people and a SAFE place. My only complaint is there are no restrooms.
