Riverside is the home of the "World's Largest Paper Cup" (actually made of concrete), which is over three stories ({{convert|68.10|ft|m|abbr=on|disp=semicolon}} ) tall. The "[[Dixie Cup]]" landmark is on Iowa Street just north of Palmyrita, in front of what was once the Dixie Corporation's manufacturing plant (now closed down).

Three notable hills are in Riverside's scenic landscape: [[Box Springs Mountain]], Evans (Jurupa) Hill and Tecolote Hill; all of which are preserved open spaces. South of Riverside is [[Lake Mathews]]. There is also the well-known landmark/foothill [[Mount Rubidoux]], which is next to the Santa Ana River and one of the most noticeable landmarks in the downtown area. This foothill is the dividing line between the town of [[Rubidoux]] and the city of Riverside.

[[March Joint Air Reserve Base]] borders Riverside on the east serving as a divider between the city and [[Moreno Valley]]. March ARB, founded in 1918, is the oldest operating Air Force base west of the Mississippi River.

At the entrance to Riverside from the [[California State Route 60|60 freeway]] sits [[Fairmount Park (Riverside, California)|Fairmount Park]]. This extensive urban oasis was designed by the firm founded by [[Frederick Law Olmsted]], which had designed New York's Central Park.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.riversideca.gov/park_rec/facilities.asp|title=City of Riverside, California - Park & Recreation|work=riversideca.gov|access-date=October 8, 2010|archive-date=October 6, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101006091711/http://www.riversideca.gov/park_rec/facilities.asp|url-status=dead}}</ref> It includes a stocked pond that is home to many species of birds. On nearby private land is the former site of Spring Rancheria, a [[Cahuilla]] village.
