Historic Arkansas Riverwalk

The riverwalk was constructed as part of an effort to attract tourists and trade to the city.

[1] The riverwalk features history about the Pueblo Flood of 1921, and also hosts recreation and restaurants.

[2] Before the Pueblo Flood of 1921, the Arkansas River ran through the middle of the Union Avenue Historic Commercial District.

In 1993, the City of Pueblo created the HARP Commission to help design and fund the project.

Major goals with the project include beautifying the city for tourists and citizens, and getting Pueblo out of an economic slump.
