Greenway at Riverside Park
Riverlink, a nonprofit organization in Asheville, is creating a new public park called Gateway Park on Riverside Drive at Pearson Bridge. This park is designed to serve cyclists, runners, and pedestrians along the French Broad River. It will resurrect a smaller version of the historic Riverside Park that was founded in the early 20th century.
The Gateway Park will be located halfway between the north end of the River Arts District and Woodfin’s Silver Line Park. Despite its small size, it will become a crucial point for new multimodal bike lanes in the city. Several projects, including Riverside Drive improvements, Woodfin Greenway Blueway, and City of Asheville contributions, will connect to this park.
It is expected that half a million people per year will utilize these paths for north-south travel through the city once the projects are completed. Construction is set to begin this winter with the park scheduled to open next summer.
