Riverdale, a city of around 8,400 people, is situated in Weber County, just minutes away from Ogden. It is home to some amazing parks with pavilions, playgrounds, sand volleyball, baseball diamonds, tennis courts, walking trails, and a splash pad. The trail system on the
Riverdale Weber River Parkway is second to none. It is a popular place to walk, ride, and jog. You can enjoy a ten-mile continuous trail that winds through a cottonwood forest and wetland areas, from the south end of Riverdale to the mouth of Ogden Canyon.
The City sponsors youth sports such as softball, baseball, flag football, and basketball. An Intramural Program is available to kids from 8 to 18, and provides instruction on a variety of activities such as dodge ball, crab soccer, two man carry, scooter ball, ping pong, and badminton. The Riverdale Community Center houses a full-size gymnasium as well as exercise equipment. The Riverdale City Senior Center offers a variety of activities and classes, including lapidary, Bunka (Japanese Embroidery), rug hooking, scrapbooking, Spanish, and photo scanning. The Riverdale Youth City Government provides youth an opportunity to better understand the government, as well as organize community service projects and celebrations. One of the biggest community events is “Old Glory Days,” an Independence Day celebration, complete with a baby contest, golf tournament, volleyball tournament, basketball tournament, pinewood derby, movie in the park, flag-raising ceremony, breakfast, 5K run/walk, parade, food, games, activities, entertainment, and of course, fireworks. To honor Riverdale Veterans for their service to their country and keep them up-to-date about happenings and events pertaining to veterans, the city has designed an online
Veterans Memorial Page. Riverdale City also participates in the Military “Community Covenant” Program and maintains a Veterans Memorial at the Riverdale Civic Center, which honors all Veterans, past and present.
