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.
