Revitalizing 70 Acres of Urban Riverfront Parkland

Omaha’s RiverFront Revitalization Project is designed to revive 70 acres of urban parkland along the Missouri River. The $325 million project unites three key parks with improved connection and recreational features in an effort to foster economic growth and attract visitors to the city. 

As the lead design firm for the project, HDR brought in a broad set of experts to take on challenges ranging from historic preservation to soil remediation to transforming a lagoon into a park.
