SOUTH BEND — The city’s Venues Parks & Arts officials will dedicate several upgrades at and near Gov. Joe Kernan Park at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, including the upper riverwalk that extends from Howard Park to the Farmer’s Market, two new outlooks on the St. Joseph River, upgraded benches and lights and new signs.
Much of the work was finished last year. A new public boat launch will be installed at the park later this year.
The park is on Northside Boulevard at South Notre Dame Avenue. For Wednesday’s ribbon cutting, parking at the park will be limited to handicapped only. Attendees are encouraged to park along Frances Street and Northside. Shuttles will also be available from the Zion United Church of Christ lot near Howard Park.
