Passive trails and recreation areas provide access to nature and common space within the heart of the city’s downtown area bringing the community together in ways never imagined.

Alongside members of the Riverworks Design Group, Design Collaborative assisted in the development and design for Phase I – Promenade Park.

Our team led the design of key structures, including a 6,400 SF pavilion and a two-sided bandshell while providing stunning lighting design, project management, and construction management for the entire 4.5-acre project site. The promenade brings new retail, dining, and walking path experiences to downtown Fort Wayne and offers activities for all.
