riverwalks

Scenic waterfront strolls

Riverwalks are pedestrian pathways along urban waterways, typically featuring landscaping, benches, restaurants, and shops.

Cities develop riverwalks to reclaim industrial waterfronts for recreation and tourism: San Antonio's riverwalk draws millions of visitors annually.

The word combines river and boardwalk, though riverwalks are often paved rather than wooden.
