The CityDeck was designed as part of a larger redevelopment plan to transform Green Bay's riverfront from industrial use to public pedestrian space.
The boardwalk's tiered concrete steps are specifically engineered to double as amphitheater-style seating for riverside events.
Integrated LED lighting systems illuminate the deck and pedestrian pathways during evening hours.
The project was a key component in the city's effort to stimulate downtown economic revitalization by increasing foot traffic.
The deck utilizes sustainable materials and native landscaping to integrate with the Fox River ecosystem.
CityDeck is a multi-level concrete and wood riverfront promenade located in downtown Green Bay along the Fox River. It serves as an urban gathering space designed to reconnect the city center with the waterfront. The design incorporates tiered seating, integrated lighting, and modular spaces for public events. It acts as a central hub for festivals, farmers markets, and outdoor concerts throughout the year. The structure is built over the riverbank, providing direct access to the water's edge. It connects various retail shops, restaurants, and hotels to the downtown corridor.
