Riverfront Commemorative Park is a beautiful urban park bordering the commercial district of downtown Corvallis. Designed as a "downtown showcase", the park features both paved and grassy areas, views of the Willamette River, a variety of resting benches, over 350 ornamental trees and over 5,000 decorative shrubs. A 12 foot wide, 3/4 mile long multi-modal path runs along the park, connecting three distinct plazas. These plazas are available for rent year round. The path also connects the riverfront to the Eric Scott McKinley Skate Park and then on to Pioneer Park.

The park is filled with decorative sculptures by five different artists. One of the most popular features of the park is the decorative water fountain at the Jackson Plaza. The public is welcome to interact with the water jets of the fountain, which operates from April to October, 6 am to 8 pm every day. Riverfront Commemorative Park is a popular location for community events such as the spring/summer Farmers Market, and annual Red, White & Blues Festival.
