This highly visible project includes nearly a mile of walking paths and is destined to be heavily used with its excellent riverfront access, pedestrian bridge, three scenic pavilions, and prime location.  The concrete plaza under the Broad Street Memorial Bridge will serve as the main entrance, as well as a central gathering space.  The Riverwalk will be an asset to the growing Coosa Landing complex that already hosts dozens of fishing tournaments, several concerts, and other exciting activities. The pathways are a mixture of concrete sidewalks, timber boardwalk, and gravel pathways that also have pedestrian lighting installed throughout. The Riverwalk at Coosa Landing also offers a large picnic pavilion, two new fixed docks with multiple boat slips, and an additional 250’ boardwalk for improved fishing access as well as boat docking just downstream of the Broad Street Bridge.  The Riverwalk at Coosa Landing will be a key venue and facility for all residents of the City of Gadsden. 

Today also brings the announcement of the next phase of the Coosa Landing development. The Mayor’s Office is pleased to share the Gadsden City Council’s approval of a proposed multiuse development that will bring extraordinary opportunities to our City. This development offers a next generation public-private partnership that will bring a new event center and retail space to the 14-acre parcel on George Wallace Drive.  As other development progresses the new facility will be a modern replacement for Convention Hall, which has been a long-time fixture in the City of Gadsden. 

Stay tuned for more information as the development progresses and more great potential is realized in our community.
