HAMPTON — There will be a grand opening and ribbon-cutting event for Hampton’s newest park, Waterwalk, at Central Park, at 10 a.m. on May 12.
The park, which will connect Air Power Park and the Power Plant shopping area, will provide an expanded, multi-use pathway. It will serve shoppers, convention- and concert-goers, area residents and tourists, city officials said in a news release.
Opposite ends of the park will open first. There is a 1.6-mile loop for walkers or joggers in the commercial area from Bass Pro to the Hampton Coliseum.
Behind Air Power Park, meanwhile, an elevated walkway will provide a quiet place to observe nature.
