PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Conceptualized as a “front porch” for the revitalized riverfront area, the River’s Edge Pavilion connects the Bob Kerry pedestrian bridge with the Iowa Riverfront Trail system. Located at 4250 River’s Edge Parkway, the River’s Edge Pavilion offers indoor and outdoor rental spaces.

A space for the community to host events and activities, the building blends the outdoors with modern amenities including a public-use meeting room, public restrooms, and patio areas. The first floor features heating and cooling, tables and chairs, a catering kitchen, private restrooms, an audiovisual system, and an outdoor deck. The rooftop deck allows up to 122 guests a spectacular view of the surrounding park all the way to the Omaha skyline.
