The Riverside Park plays a big part in the lives of the citizens of Batesville, Arkansas. On one side of the White River, there is the beautiful sandbar where you can take long, peaceful walks. On the other side, Riverside Park stands tall, with its playground for young children and the huge gazebo for the many celebrations held there. Between the two sides lies the dam, with water flowing down it. All around, you can smell the delicious steak cooking at "Josie's". You can hear the band playing during all the festivities that happen year-round and the water smashing into the rocks in the river. You can feel the cool air near the water and the mist thrown into the air by the dam. Riverside Park is a truly beautiful place.
