Video: This is the power of a riverfront park in Fort Wayne

As cities across the country work to revitalize their urban cores and bring citizens back together downtown, the challenge is to create accessible, welcoming communal spaces where everyone feels welcome.

Promenade Park in downtown Fort Wayne appears to be accomplishing this goal within its first few weeks of opening.
