Fort Lauderdale – The City of Fort Lauderdale has commenced construction on Tunnel Top Park, located at 500 South New River Drive East in downtown Fort Lauderdale.

A grand opening ceremony will take place after construction is completed. Construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of August.

Situated on the south side of the New River adjacent to Fort Lauderdale’s Rio Vista neighborhood, Tunnel Top Park will provide visitors with a quaint setting and picturesque views of Fort Lauderdale’s historic Stranahan House.

Tunnel Top Park will enhance the east end of the City of Fort Lauderdale’s Riverwalk, downtown’s linear park that features scenic walkways through lush tropical landscaping and links patrons to local businesses, shops and restaurants. Amenities at Tunnel Top Park will include native landscaping, decorative lighting, park benches, a bicycle rack, trash receptacles and a sitting wall along the historic New River.
