As Mayor, I’m honored to officially open Promenade Park as part of Riverfront Fort Wayne. Thank you to city officials, contractors, local organizations, donors, and most importantly, our residents, for making this dream become a reality.
Thank you to the thousands of people that showed up for opening night of Promenade Park! Our hearts are so full. Join us on Saturday and Sunday for more activities and celebration! What was your favorite part?
Hello New Park! No better view than seeing the city of Fort Wayne walk through Promenade Park for the first time. Phase 1 of the Riverfront Development Project took years of planning, dreaming, sketching and countless hours of time designing and today it all became a reality. We are so proud to have worked with the Riverworks Design Group and on the Tree Canopy Trail especially. Cheers to all who have been a part of this crazy, beautiful process. We did it! Come enjoy Promenade Park during it’s grand opening going on now through this Sunday. #FortWayneFuture#Powerfulideas#cityoffortwayne#promenadepark#hellonewpark @ Fort Wayne, Indiana
Shared December 27, 2024 on Facebook stating: Creating spaces that celebrate a community’s identity, foster pride, and connect diverse groups is at the heart of placemaking. In our latest post written by Ron Dick, AIA, LEED AP, we explore how thoughtful, authentic design can transform public spaces into vibrant hubs for everyone—whether through iconic landmarks, inclusive features, or celebrating local heritage.

Here is a photograph of the Downtown Skyline, from inside the historical & FABULOUS Wells Street Bridge, Promenade Park, Downtown Fort Wayne... I took this on August 7, 2022 at approximately 11:45p.m.
Looking SE, towards the City, down Wells Street, to where it ends at Superior Street....
It was a beautiful, crystal clear night, & the bridge was lit up with red & blue lights!! The outside of the Bridge looked of blue, red, & purple... the inside mainly was purple in hue....
This ONE OF A KIND Bridge was built in 1884, & closed in 1982, & placed on the National Register of Historic Places on September15, 1988.... It's been refurbished, & used as a pedestrian Bridge for years... The Wells Street Bridge is now located in, & a part of Promenade Park, in Downtown Fort Wayne....
What a great view!!
