Construction will include a history trail with interactive stations, a 300-foot-long fountain, a model-boat pond, a tree grove with tables and benches, and a restored shoreline habitat."

Visitors can use a terraced boardwalk, cross to Westlake Avenue on a new bridge, check out vessels at the historic ships wharf and enjoy the waterfront views.
