Riverton Trolley Park Description:
In 1896 Riverton Trolley Park welcomed throngs of people from the city who paid five cents to take the trolley from Portland . The park featured an outdoor amphitheater, croquet court, boat rides, a trout pond, a "casino" building by John Calvin Stevens, and scenic pathways. While little remains of its previous glory, the park is still a beautiful place for a walk, and searching the terrain for clues of the past can be a fun challenge. The Friends of Riverton Trolley Park is working towards further renovation of this unique spot.

Description:
This short loop trail winds through a densely wooded area, by river frontage and an open field. The trail connects with the Riverton Golf Course for cross-country skiing in winter.

Trail access:
Parking is available on Riverside Street next to the ball field.

METRO Bus route:
