A large portion of the neighborhood is a gated water-front community called the Napa Yacht Club. Many homes in the Riverpark neighborhood are geared toward the Napa River with views or direct access to the water.
It was originally part of the famous Spreckels Stockfarm, a one thousand acre ranch in south Napa. The Stockfarm was famous for several reasons, including being where Seabiscuit was sired. The ranch was sold to the Sheveland Family and then eventually sold. The majority is now the South Wetlands Opportunity Area, which is part of the Napa River Flood Control Project.
