Park River may refer to:
The Park River, sometimes called the Hog River, since 1940 has been a subterranean urban river that flows through and under the city of Hartford, Connecticut. The river was buried by the Army Corps of Engineers, to prevent the spring floods regularly caused by increased surface runoff from urban development.
The Park River is a river in North Dakota. Park River is a tributary of the Red River of the North. The name likely comes from brush corrals built by Native Americans on the banks of the river, called "buffalo parks" by early explorers. The corrals were used in a form of hunting in which buffalo would be driven into them and over the steep river banks in order to kill or injure them.
Elmwood (Grafton, North Dakota), a house listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is located by it.
