riverfront parks

Banks with benches

Riverfront parks are public green spaces along urban waterways, designed to provide recreation and access to the water's edge.

Cities often develop them as part of revitalization efforts, transforming former industrial zones into trails, promenades, and gathering spaces: The riverfront park replaced abandoned warehouses with walking paths and boat launches.
