The park will stretch along the Great Miami River and will have boating, competitive kayaking, canoeing and river surfing. The river district would extend from I-75 to the existing businesses on the east end of West Carrollton and will also include housing and hotels.

Last year, the project was billed at $10 million, however, city leaders said they were hoping to secure federal grants to help pay for parts of the project.

News Center 7 previously reported construction was scheduled to start in 2023.
