The 15.42-acre Willowbranch Park follows the path of Willowbranch Creek in Riverside. Initial phases of the park’s development were spearheaded by former City Councilman John J. Griffin. Additional acreage would be acquired southeast of Park Street between 1921 and 1925. Along with land, lots of landscaping materials would be acquired, with a generous donation of azaleas donated by Dr. Harold Hume. In 1930, the Willowbranch Library opened up in the park. Located at 2870 Sydney Street, other amenities include baseball field, basketball court, picnic tables, benches, a little creek and plenty of trees.
