Bakersfield’s “Best Shopping Center” is Getting Even Better

The Shops at River Walk is a favorite of Bakersfield residents and has even been voted “Best Shopping Center” in the Best of Bakersfield Awards for many years.  The Shops at River Walk is renowned for the many shopping and dining experience “firsts” it has brought to Bakersfield, including stores like DSW, Nordstrom Rack, BevMo, and Yard House. 

While well known for its elite shopping and dining experiences, over the last year The Shops at River Walk has also become a place to embrace your active side. This year a variety of new shopping and activity experiences have opened their doors to make achieving your health and fitness goals a breeze. 

For a workout that not only provides intense cardio but also engages your arms, legs, and abdominal muscles, look no further than Climb by LVL Fitness. Climb is the first-of-its-kind workout experience studio in Bakersfield where clients use a VersaClimber machine that provides a high intensity, low impact workout.

And of course no workout is complete without the proper attire, and Athleta is the place to find high performance, high quality athletic clothing to meet a variety of fitness needs. From running laps to running errands, you’ll look as good as you feel! Some also say the most important exercise accessory is the right footwear, and The Shops at River Walk is where you’ll find the perfect pair. With options like DSW, Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx, and the newly opened Vans store, everyone in the family can find exactly what their feet need for any occasion.  

A convenient location next to The Park at River Walk and the Kern River Bike trail makes it easy to stop in after a stroll, run, or a nice ride on the bike path. When you get thirsty or need some fuel for your work out, the newly opened Nekter Juice Bar has a variety of healthy options including cold-pressed juices, smoothies, and acai bowls. Nekter Juice also offers detox cleansing juices to help kick start healthier eating habits. There are almost 20 different dining options in The Shops at River Walk, making it a perfect choice for a quick bite while shopping or a more leisurely night out for dinner.

And don’t forget, the holidays are right around the corner, so make your shopping and dining experience enjoyable this year at The Shops at River Walk, where you can get everything wrapped up in one easy spot!
