North Riverside Park Mall presents the Touch A Truck event, which is free for the community to attend and features a variety of vehicles from businesses and services. In addition, we showcase a DJ, games, and bubble machines for attendees. Over the 10-year history of the event, we attract more than 900 visitors each year. It is popular with all ages.

Mall walking is a great way to maintain or increase fitness levels in a climate control, safe and pedestrian-friendly environment. Join our FREE Mall Walker club and enjoy access to retail sales and health-related information. North Riverside Park Mall opens early for Mall Walker club members.
