River Common

Beautiful walk with great views in every direction.

Good Morning Wilkes-Barre, PA! I'm just passing through, what a great river front park system and an awesome way to start your day. This is an interconnected park system with multiple parking options on both sides of the river. I had full bars of Verizon 4G LTE Roaming.

Nice sidewalks along the river ground level and elevated street level. Nice place

This is a beautiful addition to the city. The views of the river, courthouse, and Market street bridge are spectacular. The biggest thing lacking in this are is outdoor spaces and trees so we are lucky to have this. I've only been here during the day or the evening concerts in the summer but it seems like a fairly safe area. There is a police presence during events. Not so much during normal times but there are typically enough other people nearby to feel safe. A few more seating areas, garbage cans, and perhaps some drinking fountains and restrooms along the paths would greatly improve the usefulness of the commons but I understand the lack of amenities to be a result of the areas over the top heroin problem. Overall I would recommend this area to anyone looking for some fresh air and or greenery!

Great place and the concerts are a great thing. Scranton needs to do stuff like this . I wish they had more concerts scheduled. Why are there no shows in August and September? Even if just local cover bands or book some of the tribute acts that Mohegan sun books. It's an awesome thing to have concerts here for free
