Riverwalk Phase 4 Groundbreaking Set For Wednesday

ROSWELL, GA -- On Wednesday, the city of Roswell will host a groundbreaking ceremony for Phase 4 of its Riverwalk project.

The ceremony will be held at 4 p.m. May 11 at the Chattahoochee Nature Center.

Riverwalk, a multi-purpose greenway that parallels the Chattahoochee River, dates back to 2000 when citizens approved a bond referendum that included funding for the city to construct a seven-mile greenway along the Chattahoochee River.

Those plans also call for incorporating parks, trails, and other recreational and educational facilities.

Since that time, the city has completed the first three phases of the Riverwalk project, which included a Riverwalk through Don White Park, Riverside Park and Azalea Park to Willeo Road.

This fourth phase will add approximately one mile to the greenway, which will run parallel to the river, starting along Azalea Drive, just at the point where the road curves off the river, and extending to Chattahoochee Nature Center.

Another phase — Phase 5 — is still to be built in the future and will extend the Riverwalk to the Gold Branch Unit of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area in Cobb County.

The Chattahoochee Nature Center is located at 9135 Willeo Road in Roswell.
