The Riverwalk is an integral part of the city’s goal to revitalize downtown and open the Hillsborough River to the people of Tampa. It will extend nearly two miles from the east end of Garrison Channel to Water Works Park in Tampa Heights. The Riverwalk will link such destinations as city parks, the convention center, museums, Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center and the portions of the Riverwalk that already exist. For fiscal year 2005, $1 million is being allocated to provide for design of the remaining segments and a private sector fundraising effort will begin this fall.
