An Abundance of Parks is Coming to Madera County’s Riverstone

July 17, 2016

Madera, CA - Construction is in full swing at the new 2,000-acre master-planned community of Riverstone—and exciting neighborhood parks will be among the first amenities taking shape. The parks, along with the community’s first collections of new homes, will be located within Riverstone’s inaugural residential neighborhood, known as the Lodge District. The homes are anticipated to be ready for occupancy late this year. For more information about Riverstone and its first collections of homes, homebuyers are encouraged to visit the community’s website at www.RiverstoneCA.com and add their name to the Interest List.

Just a short walk or bike ride away from Riverstone’s first collections of new homes, Adventure Park is anticipated to offer play structures, climbing boulders, three different slides, a small amphitheater, and grassy areas for all kinds of kid-sized fun.

Perfectly suited for families with young and active children, Riverstone’s Adventure Park will be one of five neighborhood parks planned for the community’s Lodge District.

“We’ve always wanted to be the kind of place that makes it easy for families to head outside and play,” said Riverstone’s Tim Jones. “We’re making this happen with a total of five neighborhood parks and additional recreational opportunities in the Lodge District, which will all be situated conveniently close to home.”

Adventure Park at Riverstone will definitely live up to its name. This active play area with spaces designed for two to five, and five to 12-year-olds is planned to feature play structures, climbing boulders and the fun of three different slides—all with a soft, spongy ground to safely cushion youngsters’ falls. The park is also anticipated to include a small amphitheater, an ideal spot to enjoy an outdoor play or musical performance, or where moms and dads can simply relax while keeping an eye on their children at play.

Designed for more relaxing, adult-sized fun is Riverstone’s Garden Park, with planned barbecue areas, shade structures, a large communal table ideal for outdoor dining, and a cutting garden where residents will be able to snip a variety of fresh flowers and take them home to enliven their interior spaces.

Just a short ways away from the parks, and anchored right in the heart of the Lodge District, is “The Lodge” itself, a resort-style community clubhouse that’s fresh and different inside and out. Now under construction, The Lodge at Riverstone will combine the rusticity of farm with the magnificence of the West’s National Park lodges of yesteryear—revealing elements such as open exposed beams, grand windows for inspired views, and authentic building materials that are permanent and lasting. The grand venue is anticipated to offer a state-of-the-art fitness center, flexible spaces for gatherings and events, a Gear Barn providing recreational equipment, and an outdoor terrace with a sparkling pool, spa, cabanas and a refreshments bar.

To ensure the happiness of man’s best friend, Riverstone’s dog park is envisioned to include every canine-loving amenity imaginable. Planned features include an abundance of trees, dog fountains and open-space areas ideal for running, frolicking and Frisbee catching. The dog park will feature separate areas for small dogs and big dogs, both with their own separate, gated entry. The separation will help ensure that both the dogs and their owners are able to enjoy a better, safer park-going experience.

Situated in the heart of the region’s path of growth, Riverstone—when complete—will total approximately 6,578 single-family, attached and multi-family homes, as well as commercial and mixed-use space including office, service and retail. Amenities at Riverstone are anticipated to include walkable neighborhoods with 200 acres of public and private parks and open space reserves, an extensive trail network, on-site schools, and a nearby stretch of the San Joaquin River and adjacent lake.
