Castle Park Map and Brochure (2014 – 2025)
Built around a tight circular midway that radiates from its storybook castle, Castle Park packs rides, arcades, and shaded picnic areas into a compact Riverside layout. The Castle Park map keeps you oriented as you weave between coasters, mini golf, and the small train loop without retracing steps. It marks shortcuts to food stands and tram stops that can be easy to miss once the afternoon crowd hits.

Watch the chokepoint near the castle bridge during fireworks—it’s pure Riverside chaos, but in a good-natured way. Old-school carnival charm, SoCal sun, and just enough quirks to keep you grinning.
