GREEN BAY — Green Bay's newest riverfront park is a hidden gem right now, but won't be for long.
South Broadway motorists and passersby might see the longtime industrial buildings, the CN rail line and overgrown brush, but they conceal the new park and its unobstructed views of the Fox River as it shimmers in the fall sunlight. Walk beneath the Mason Street bridge, though, and a white concrete path beckons pedestrians north into The Shipyard, Green Bay's new promenade and riverfront park.
Contractors should complete the first phase of recreation amenities this month, and the city of Green Bay hopes to mark with a small celebration on the long-vacant, undeveloped site, said Matt Buchanan, the city's deputy director of community and economic development.
