Jaycee Park will reopen on April 30 with a ribbon-cutting set for May 8.

The ribbon-cutting is open to the public and no reservations are required to attend the ceremony at the wholly rebuilt riverfront park at 4215 S.E. 20th Place at the end of Beach Parkway.

“Jaycee Park has undergone a major transformation into a more accessible, family-friendly waterfront destination, addressing issues like aging facilities, invasive trees, and parking and pedestrian challenges,” city officials said Monday in a release announcing the re-opening.

The renovated park now features:

* a lighted riverfront boardwalk and overlook

* upgraded pathways with cooling misters

* lush native landscaping

* improved accessibility

* a large inclusive playground

* adult changing stations

* a 5,000-square-foot splash pad

* shaded picnic areas

* a bandshell for performances

* cornhole, pool, and shuffleboard tables

* beach volleyball courts

* a dedicated food truck court offering food and beverages (coming soon)
