About Bradenton Riverwalk

The Riverwalk runs along the Manatee River between the Green and DeSoto bridges and serves as a major expansion of Rossi Park. Visitors can walk the riverside path, fish, play beach volleyball, and use the skateboard park. The site also hosts entertainment events and educational activities along the route. Wikipedia describes it as a public green space of about five acres that opened in October 2012 and is maintained by the city together with the nonprofit Realize Bradenton. Sources give different lengths for the route, so visitors should check current details before going.
