The community is invited to celebrate the grand opening of the Cedar Falls Gateway River Park on Saturday, June 7, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., at the Gateway Park Shelter located at East Main and Lincoln Street!
During this fun and free event, guests can learn how to river surf, see professional in-river kayak demonstrations, and get area fishing insights. The celebration will also include river safety tips from local experts, information on water recreation in Cedar Falls, and guided tours of the new river features.
"Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, avid angler, or just looking for a little adventure with the family, the new Gateway River Park has something for everyone," said Cedar Falls Mayor Danny Laudick. "This project was made possible by over a decade of community support, and it is our residents, partners, and dedicated staff who helped make it a reality. The park is a great start to bringing new life to our downtown riverfront, and we're looking forward to the quality of life and tourism opportunities that it will help bring in the future."
