The {{convert|5|acre|spell=in|adj=mid}} park opened to the public on October 18, 2012 and features a skatepark, 400-seat amphitheater, playgrounds, and a splash pad. The area is maintained by the city of Bradenton and the nonprofit organization Realize Bradenton. HistoryIn the 1960s Bradenton dredged the Manatee River for silt, to add {{convert|50|acres|km2}} of land adjacent to downtown.[4] The area was dubbed "The Sand Pile" due to the river dredging projects.[2][4] The park, Anthony T. Rossi Waterfront Park (or known simply as Waterfront Park or Rossi Park), was originally developed in the 1980s with the help of a federal grant.[1] The boundaries of Rossi Park were from the Green Bridge (Business US 41 / 9th Street West) to the Hernando DeSoto Bridge (US 301 / US 41 / 1st Street). The Bradenton Downtown Development Authority (BDDA) hired Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. in June 2010 to design a substantial improvement to Rossi Park and the surrounding waterfront area.[5] The construction of the Riverwalk broke ground in September 2011 and opened to the public on October 18, 2012.[2] {{clear|left}}FeaturesThe Bradenton Riverwalk spans from slightly west of the Green Bridge, near South Florida Museum, to 2nd Street East, adjacent to Manatee Memorial Hospital. The Riverwalk includes playgrounds, splash pad, a lawn for picnics, a day dock for boaters, a skatepark, a botanical walk, sand volleyball courts, and a 400-seat Mosaic Amphitheater.[3][6] Public art is displayed throughout the Riverwalk area. One of the art collections prominently displayed is Postcards from the Friendly City. The collection consists of various large-scale art panel "postcards" depicting the history of the Manatee River and Bradenton area.[7]Several weekly, monthly, and annual events, hosted by Realize Bradenton with coordination from the City of Bradenton and the BDDA, are held at the Riverwalk.[8] These events range from a weekly farmers' market, a seasonal "Music in the Park" family-friendly live music series, to the annual Bradenton Blues Festival and ArtSlam. The events attract 100,000 people annually to the downtown area and generate $2.785 million every year in economic impact based on the Americans for the Arts economic impact calculator.[9] Eastern extensionIn April 2017, the City of Bradenton contracted Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. again to create a master plan for an eastern extension of the Bradenton Riverwalk.[3][10] The eastern extension will extend the Riverwalk east to Manatee Mineral Springs Park and Manatee Village Historical Park. Kimley-Horn is coordinating with Realize Bradenton to gather public input for the eastern extension. The city also bought {{convert|1.5|acres}} of land north of Manatee Mineral Springs Park for $700,000 to expand the existing park and to ensure interconnectivity with the eastern expansion of the Riverwalk.[11] References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.cityofbradenton.com/index.asp?Type=B_BASIC&SEC=%7B2372421E-7C31-4466-8BC7-97A45D5BF7C9%7D |title=Rossi Park – City of Bradenton |website=City of Bradenton |accessdate=April 13, 2018}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/LK/20121012/News/605220909/SH/ |last=Becnel |first=Thomas |title=Bradenton Riverwalk a paradise for walkers |website=Sarasota Herald-Tribune |date=October 12, 2012 |accessdate=April 13, 2018}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=https://www.kimley-horn.com/project/bradenton-riverwalk/ |title=Bradenton Riverwalk Planning / Landscape Architecture |website=Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. |accessdate=April 13, 2018}} 4. ^1 {{cite web |title=ULX: Waterfront Open Spaces |url=https://urbanland.uli.org/sustainability/ulx-waterfront-open-spaces/ |last1=Nyren |first1=Ron |date=June 13, 2016 |publisher=Urban Land Institute |accessdate=April 15, 2018}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.downtownbradenton.com/Projects/Riverwalk.aspx |title=Riverwalk Project |website=Bradenton Downtown Development Authority |accessdate=April 13, 2018}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.realizebradenton.com/features |title=Riverwalk Features – Realize Bradenton |website=Realize Bradenton |accessdate=April 13, 2018}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.realizebradenton.com/public_art |title=Public Art |website=Realize Bradenton |accessdate=April 13, 2018}} 8. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.downtownbradenton.com/events |title=Events Calendar |website=Realize Bradenton |accessdate=April 19, 2018}} 9. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.realizebradenton.com/our_impact |title=Impact |website=Realize Bradenton |accessdate=April 19, 2018}} 10. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.realizebradenton.com/expansion |title=Riverwalk Features – Realize Bradenton |website=Realize Bradenton |accessdate=April 13, 2018}} 11. ^{{Cite web |url=http://www.bradenton.com/news/local/article144167424.html |title=City park is about to double in size with land buy |last=Young |first=Mark |date=April 12, 2017 |website=The Bradenton Herald |access-date=May 8, 2018}} External links
