Martin Luther King Jr. Promenade |
The Martin Luther King, Jr.
Promenade is an artistic, commemorative urban oasis. Through incremental
development, CCDC transformed an under-utilized railroad right-of-way
into an attractive visual and physical link between the waterfront and
downtown. This half-mile linear park, part of downtown’s urban trails
system, features a wide pedestrian walkway embedded with granite
segments memorializing Dr. King’s words. Landscaping is colorful and
“serape” style. Three unique sculptures celebrate the themes of Dr.
King’s work.
