Mount Rubidoux Park in Riverside

Paved uphill roads, dirt trails and historic landmarks make this a walking outing rather than a playground stop. The park's 3.5 miles of paved roads describe its road network, not one prescribed loop. For a shaded picnic and playground-focused afternoon, Fairmount is the better fit among these picks. Plan the mountain visit around walking, sun exposure and your group's pace. The city recommends the adjacent Ryan Bonaminio Park parking lot. Restrooms are there during park hours, not on the mountain. Surrounding street parking is limited. Mount Rubidoux is open dawn to dusk, with no trail lighting and no night hikes. Public vehicles are not allowed on its park roads.
