Riverfront Park

Riverfront Park is a proposed park project aiming to connect Downtown Jackson to The Pearl River. The project includes a new passive park with an outdoor amphitheater, multi-use trails and boardwalks, a sandbar with boat docks, nature overlooks, wetland conservation and retention areas, and opportunities for future infill development along Commerce Street.

The project is in the concept design and planning stage seeking additional support to move the project into the next phase of technical engineering, survey analysis, and preparing the site. The Riverfront Park Project can happen with or without the implementation of the new US Army Corps of Engineers Alternative D Flood Control Solution. The amphitheater berm is located on the west end of the park at the highest elevation and the wetlands remain part of the park design with multi-use trails and a sandbar on the end of The Pearl River.
