Welcome to the Rivers Edge Recreation Center. A focal point of our Park District that was built in 2004 to meet the ever growing needs of Belvidere and the surrounding area. Rivers Edge is a 20,000 square foot facility that houses current Park District Programs and allows us room to expand with new ideas and events. Built right into the hill overlooking the majestic Kishwaukee River and scenic Belvidere Park, the Rivers Edge has numerous recreational opportunities to meet you and your family’s needs.
Rivers Edge Recreation Center has something for everyone. It is the site of our adult basketball and volleyball leagues, open gyms, indoor pickleball, martial arts, art programs, and others. Rivers Edge also has a large 35-foot indoor Rockwall and several Multipurpose rooms that are available to the public for rent.
open pickleball is back in 2023!
