The three acre waterfront park along the<br />
Ohio River is part of a program of urban<br />
revitalization and community enhancement.<br />
The WNHAC planned to create<br />
within the Wheeling waterfront area a<br />
park and trail system that celebrates<br />
and interprets Wheeling’s natural, cultural,<br />
and historic legacy, and provides<br />
outdoor public space to attract both<br />
residents and tourists. The new park<br />
also serves commercial and recreational<br />
port activity.<br />
Funding for construction became available<br />
in 1998, under a grant from the<br />
National Park Service. The old Wharf<br />
Garage in the center of the site was<br />
demolished to make way for new park<br />
construction, consisting of an amphitheater,<br />
an entry plaza, and a river-edge<br />
(t-b) Overall view of the park showing the amphitheater and boat mooring<br />
facilities; a typical Wednesday evening concert.
