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.
“We’re pleased to see work get underway on this unique and exciting new project,” said Daryl Joseph, director of Parks, Recreation and Social Services for the city of Jacksonville. “Along with new destination parks coming soon in Riverfront Plaza, Shipyards West and a redesigned St. Johns River Park, Artist Walk will be one of several new Downtown attractions for the entire community to enjoy.”
True to its name, the park will be crafted as a skateable piece of art and will also feature a synthetic-turf, flexible-use plaza for events such as displays by local artists. The skating area was designed by California Skateparks, which has built more than 500 skateboarding facilities around the world.
