The city of Jacksonville has broken ground on its newest addition to the 30-mile-long “Emerald Trail,” which includes a shaded public plaza, featuring an artistic skate park.
Artist Walk, located under the west end of the Fuller Warren Bridge, is a three-block-long public space with landscaping, sculptures, seating and a stylized skate plaza with three different spaces for various skill levels.
The $8.8 million park is located across Riverside Avenue from the site of the weekly Riverside Arts Market and will be connected to the Fuller Warren Shared Use Path and Emerald Trail. It was designed to serve as a visual gateway between Riverside and Brooklyn.
The project, which is expected to take about two years to complete, is being funded by the city and the Florida Department of Transportation.
