Riverside (population 2,964) is one of the best-kept secrets of Platte County.  Riverside is located in the southwest tip of Platte County, alongside the Missouri River.  Riverside is home to St. Matthew's Church and Renner-Brenner Park; both listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 

                                                                                



Riverside is a community that is in the process of re-making itself.  From public improvements such as roads, sidewalks and the construction of a new city hall and public safety building, to private development such as the recent expansion of the popular Corner Cafe' and the building of a new Performing Arts Center, Riverside is undergoing a makeover. 

                                                          


Riverside is home to Argosy Riverboat Casino, which provides a source of revenue used for the redevelopment of the city's infrastructure.  Argosy casino is located next to the Army Corps of Engineers $80 million Riverside-Quindaro Bend Levee project.  The levee which will free 1,200 acres of flood-prone land for development was completed in 2004.
