The design will incorporate engaging water features and interactive elements that encourage play, creativity, and community interaction. This project aims to transform an underused site into a vibrant recreational destination that enhances the riverfront experience while promoting sustainability, accessibility, and family-friendly enjoyment for residents and visitors alike.
