Visit the Commons
Riverside Commons is the home of several exciting destinations for residents and visitors alike. From Mercyhealth Sportscore Two, one of the largest youth and amateur sports facilities in the Midwest, to retail and dining options at the Box Market, there are plenty of reasons to put Riverside Commons on your list of stops in the Rockford region.
BOX MARKET
A one-of-a-kind destination for shopping, dining, entertainment, the Box Market is the first shipping container mall in the Rockford Region.
The Box Market offers a space for small-scale entrepreneurs who are looking to establish themselves in a growing market or larger businesses looking to experiment with a new format. Visitors can enjoy local staples, like Lino’s Curbside Carryout, or explore the best that the region’s local artists and creators have to offer.
RIVETS STADIUM
Located at the heart of Riverside Commons, Rivets Stadium draws crowds from across the region for the exciting season of the Rockford Rivets, our local Northwoods League baseball team.
In addition to the summer baseball season, the Rivets Stadium also hosts live music concerts, community events, and conference room spaces.
MERCYHEALTH SPORTSCORE TWO
Complete with soccer fields, volleyball courts, an outdoor turf stadium, and an indoor sports center, Mercyhealth Sportscore Two is one of the most visited and expansive youth sports venues in the Midwest.
In addition being a center for athletics, Mercyhealth Sportscore Two also hosts a variety of other events, including conventions, banquets, expos, and concerts.
ROCK CUT STATE PARK, OLSON PARK & SPRING CREEK GREENWAY
Riverside Commons benefits from being close to some of the best natural parks in the Rockford Region, including Rock Cut State Park and Olson Swedish Heritage Park.
Visitors have access to some of the best hiking, boating, and camping opportunities in Northern Illinois. In addition to these amenities, the City of Loves Park is currently working with stakeholders to develop a plan for the restoration of Spring Creek, a currently drained waterway that lies at the heart of Riverside Commons. Spring Creek will serve as a central neighborhood greenway with restored natural areas and shared trails for pedestrians, cyclists, and others who just wish to enjoy the outdoors.
