Why Families Love Riverbank Park

Riverbank Park is one of Westbrook’s most convenient and well-loved spots for families — right in the heart of town, yet it still feels like a place to slow down. Set along the bank of the Presumpscot River, this park blends playground fun with a scenic walking path, giving families a chance to move between play and a simple walk without needing to drive anywhere else.

Playground area designed for children aged 5-12, featuring twin slides and a safety notice emphasizing adult supervision.

Its central location means you’re within walking distance of local cafés, restaurants, and even the occasional food truck, making it easy to turn a quick stop into a full outing. With a thoughtful mix of equipment for both younger and older kids, it’s a place where siblings of different ages can all find something to enjoy.

Playground Equipment:

Separate structures for toddlers and older kids

Toddler structure (ages 2–5): about 3 ft high, with stairs, four slides, a tunnel, and a climbing feature — a great setup for younger kids building confidence.
Larger structure (ages 5–12): multi-level design with platforms ranging from 4 ft to 8 ft high, climb up and down by ladders, stairs, a corkscrew climber, fire pole, climbing wall, and multiple styles of monkey bars. Five slides offer plenty of ways down, keeping big kids moving and engaged.
Additional features: web-shaped climber, two stand-up spinners, and a see-saw add even more variety for older kids.
Swings: two separate swing sets — one with five standard swings plus an adaptive swing, and another with four toddler bucket swings.

Playground and Nature Walk Combos

Parent Pointers

Visibility: Moderate — some obstructions between play structures
Safety Notes: The playground is set back from the road, but the park driveway runs close to the play area. The river’s steep bank may draw curious kids, so closer supervision is helpful near the water. Mulch surfacing provides a soft landing for falls.
Nearby Food/Coffee: Wakie Wakie (coffee, smoothies, light fare), Roots Café, and Casa Novello are all within a short walk. Food trucks occasionally set up right at the park.
Best Time to Visit: Weekday mornings are the quietest. Afternoons and weekends can get busy due to its central location.
