Waterfront Park Phase IV is the 22-acre westward expansion of the park between 10^th and 14^th streets along the river.  Once completed, this $50 million project will transform a long-neglected area of our waterfront into a vibrant community amenity and bring Waterfront Park’s world class amenities within a 20-minute walk of more than 10,000 residents.  Phase IV is a vital component of Waterfront Park’s mission to transform our waterfront into an accessible community asset that can be enjoyed by the community forever.

Construction is underway on PlayPort at Waterfront Park, a children’s area designed in partnership with Kentucky Science Center.  PlayPort will feature large-scale authentic objects – including an excavator, dump truck, boats, river-themed elements, and more – as anchors for an inspired play and learning environment.  Construction of PlayPort is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
