waterfront park

Shoreline public grounds

A waterfront park is a public green space situated along a body of water—a river, lake, harbor, or oceanfront.

These parks typically feature walking paths, benches, and views of the water, often reclaiming former industrial shorelines for recreation: The old shipping docks were converted into a waterfront park.
