ritter park

I'm a huge fan of Ritter Park. They have a great playground for the kids that has expanded since I grew up playing there. The rose garden is gorgeous, and the nearly a mile walking track is super. The track is gravel, and especially after heavy summer rainfall, you may need to watch for puddles & the occasional downed tree limb. The giant trees are what make the park great for me, and provide ample shade over the warmer months. One of my favorite parts of the park is down the "Safety Trail" where the ball park is, it's quiet and the perfect place to have a picnic or play Frisbee with your dog without all the interruptions.

Fun, pretty & lively! There's a nice place to run or throw the ball around. The arch is gorgeous & you must see the roses!

This park is great for a solo visit, a visit with you four legged friend or bring the entire family. Nice trails and wonderful paved paths for those who require a stroller or a wheel chair. The park has lots of shaded areas and a fabulous play area for children. There is also a beautiful rose garden to walk through, a large dog park where you can let Fido run off some of his energy, tennis courts indoor( winter) and outdoor.

It is a very nice area. It has great landscaping and a great walking track. Once again it is not connected to the University.

Peaceful and beautiful with trails everywhere. There is a small playground for the kids, a rose garden, gorgeous tree lined walking paths and historic homes all along the park. If you watched We Are Marshall, this is highlighted in it.

I loved running these trails. I used to live right next to the main park area (playground) and it was very convenient to have nearby. I especially love the trail tucked back into the woods. It's much safer here than it used to be.

Ritter Park is such a beautiful place to visit. It's in a beautiful part of town beside some of Huntington's most lovely homes, it's safe, and there's plenty of amenities such as water fountains, playground equipment, swings, restroom facilities and walking/running paths. Whatever your interest, you will love Ritter Park!

One of the great urban parks in America. Well worth a visit in any season. Huntington should be proud to have such an attraction and it shows.

My aunt lives near there so I wandered down. Very cool. It is a national park. Lots of space to jog, play sports, etc. Playground equipment for kids, lots of good spots for pictures, plenty of friendly squirrels!

Great flower gardens, excellent walking trails and good amphitheater. Park is immaculately cared for. A bright spot for Huntington.

I have been to many parks and this one is Huge. Running and walking track is the best! Awesome place for a picnic. The Rose Garden is beautiful. Also a great place to take pictures of loved ones.

Walkers, runners, children, huge picnics, art, proms and proposals...you never know at this beautiful park!

You must get out and enjoy Ritter any time of year! It is a magical place! The rose garden is beautiful!

Make a quick pass thru this park, and the winding road up to the art museum for the double score !Enjoy the scattered art as well

Great walking paths. There is a trail called PATH (I think it is named for Dr. Paul Ambrose, who died in 9/11 and was a Marshall Medical School graduate--PATH stands for Paul Ambrose Trail for Health. You can walk about 4 miles along a shady creek on the path.
