Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Tampa Riverwalk is a gorgeous 2.6-mile pedestrian trail and public park spanning the length of the Hillsborough River within downtown Tampa, open to the public for visitor use daily. The riverwalk project's inspiration dates back to the 1970s, though construction was completed on the project between 2002 and 2016. Today, the riverwalk traverses downtown Tampa's Arts District and provides access to a number of the city's top tourist attractions, including the Tampa Museum of Art, Glazer Children's Museum, and Curtis Hixon Park. In all, it begins at the city's Channelside District and travels to the city's Water Works Park at Tampa Heights. A wide variety of beautiful public art is showcased along the trail, including the Historical Monument Trail, which presents bronze busts of prominent city civic figures.
