Primary park design features of the River Cane Wetland Park include; trails (both paved and natural), pedestrian connections to adjacent neighborhoods, an iconic boardwalk structure, play experiences, and a small sport court. The central focus of landscape interventions will be native vegetation and edible plants creating a food forest. The park and its features are intended to be universally accessible. Public art is also integral to the park development and should compliment the park’s nature theme, educate visitors and be interactive, when possible. Support facilities include public restrooms and parking, which are located at the park entry off of Kyle Drive. 

 

City Council officially approved the renaming of the Kyle Drive Property to River Cane Wetland Park during their October 1, 2024 session.
