Riverside Park is an electoral ward in West Northamptonshire, England, lying alongside the floodplain of the River Nene and within easy reach of Northampton town centre. The ward is defined by its waterside character, with green corridors, riverside walkways and pockets of public open space that give a semi-rural feel despite being part of the urban area.
Primarily residential, the area mixes older post‑war housing and more recent developments and supports local shops, community facilities and small enterprises rather than large commercial hubs. Its riverside setting has shaped local history and economy - former riverside industry and transport left subtle traces - and community life often revolves around outdoor recreation, local schools and periodic regeneration and flood‑mitigation projects.
