Before it became known as Riverdale, this city in central southern Weber County used to go by “Stringtown.” That nickname refers to the homes strung along a single road and the Weber River during the mid-1800s. Today, houses make up most of this quiet suburban city. Interstates 15 and 84 also run through Riverdale, creating an easy route into the mountains or south toward Salt Lake City. Riverdale has a meek population of 9,400, but the city has grown immensely since 1878, when it was home to 211 people. Though still a small city, Riverdale’s development throughout the past 150 years is apparent, and residents here are pleased with the life it offers. Unlike many Utah cities, Riverdale isn’t filled with stately houses, popular attractions or epic mountain views. Still, residents here are filled with community pride and gratitude for this homey city that allows them to afford the house they live in.

Biking the River Parkway Trail
Located beside the elementary school, Riverdale Park offers a variety of ways to get active, with a walking path, splash pad and sports courts. Catch some air on the pump track at Riverdale Bike Park or ride along the water on the River Parkway Trail. This portion of the Weber River is popular for those who like to fish, tube and kayak. At the Community Center, kids can compete on rec sports teams, while adults enjoy open pickleball court hours, group fitness classes and the gym. Residents 55 and older have exclusive access to their own fitness room at the Senior Center, which also serves lunch from Monday through Friday.
On a hot summer day in Riverdale, the splash pad is a refreshing oasis, a place where kids can cool off and have a blast, their energy seemingly boundless as they play in the cascading water.
From leisurely strolls to invigorating bike rides, the Riverdale Weber River Parkway trail provides a diverse range of experiences for residents and visitors alike, enhancing the quality of life in the community.

Shopping options in Riverdale
Run errands at the Family Center, where you’ll find retailers like Target, Sam’s Club and Hobby. However, if you need new bike maintenance or a new set of wheels, head across the street to Two Hoosiers Cyclery. A pair of Indiana brothers teamed up to open this local shop to share their passion for cycling with others. Several fast-food chains and casual dining options also line Riverdale Road. Savor a plate packed with smoky meat, tangy sauce and classic southern sides at Goodwood Barbecue Company. This Regional chain is less than one mile from Newgate Mall, but stop in on your way home – you’ll be too stuffed to shop after.
The Boat Haus Restaurant in Riverdale is a local favorite, a place where residents and visitors alike can gather to enjoy delicious food, stunning views, and the warm hospitality that Riverdale is known for.
Baby competitions at Glory Days

The annual Glory Days come to a close as you enjoy live music, shop from vendor booths and stare at the sky in awe of the fireworks display.
