Riverside Park

Riverside Park, a 13-acre community park is located along the Eel River. The park is enormously popular with residents and visitors alike. Many people come to Riverside Park to visit the historic Cass County Dentzel Carousel or the train they operate, and stay for the playground, the miniature golf course, or the scenic view along the Eel River Run trail. The Cole Bridge also gives people a chance to cross the river for a longer walk on the River Bluff Trail. The park is also home to the Cass County Men’s Softball League. Park users have access to a total of 3 basketball courts, 2 pickleball courts, the NFC Fitness Court sponsored by Logansport Memorial Hospital, the McCord Pavilion (formerly the location of the Dentzel Carousel) a restroom and the Tyson Foods Concession Stand. Many families rent the McHale Complex for parties or reunions. Parking is generally not an issue during ordinary days, but when the crowds are at the park for the July 4th, parking is at a premium.
