The Beloit area is home to various outdoor parks – gather friends and family for a picnic, relax in the shade, and de-stress by the river.

The Riverside Park sits on the bank of the scenic Rock River. This 23-acre park features the Beloit River Walk – a 3.5-mile paved trail, Turtle Island Playground – complete with a treehouse and sandpit for the little ones, and the Rotary River Center. You can also rent paddle boats and tandem bikes.

The 50-acre Beckman Mill County Park includes vintage gardens, a picnic shelter, a mill pond, a creamery, a blacksmith shop and its main attraction – the authentically restored 1868 grist mill. Come tour the beautiful grounds and the step back in time with the historic Beckman Mill.

Pack a tennis ball or a Frisbee and head over to the Beloit Dog Park! This 2.5-acre park contains a fenced off-leash area where your dog can run, play, and socialize freely. The area is divided into two – one is specially designed for smaller breed dogs, while the other is reserved for larger breed dogs.
