The city’s Department of Park and Recreation maintains two parks in North Riverside: Minisa Park and South Woodland Park. Minisa Park spans 9.6 acres (3.9 ha) on West 13th Street and hosts a basketball court, a community facility, a playground, and a swimming pool. Formerly known as the Wichita Municipal Tourist Camp, it was renamed Minisa in 1938 after a Chippewa word meaning “red water at sunset.”[9] 7-acre (2.8 ha) South Woodland Park lies on North Heiserman Street on the west bank of the Little Arkansas River and includes a playground.[3][10]
