Louise McKinney Riverfront Park - Restaurant & Plazas
Future plans for Louise McKinney Riverfront Park include the construction of new and improved plaza spaces and a restaurant space (subject to funding). The restaurant space is intended to offer a full-service dining experience. It will be family-friendly, open year-round and offer both indoor and outdoor seating opportunities with views of the river valley.

Project Overview
2015 marks the next phase of construction in Louise McKinney Riverfront Park and the completion of the Green Room (located beside the Shumka Stage).
Construction will begin on utility upgrades for the park in late 2015. In 2016, construction is expected to begin on a new barrier-free shared-use path, staircase and lookouts linking the upper parking areas to the lower levels of the park. This work will include lighting and landscaping elements.
In 2016, the Edmonton Chinese Garden Society will complete the Main Gate and replacement of the zodiac statues.
