On Friday night, we went to The Tampa Riverwalk. We got there around 8:30pm and weren't sure where to park since we've never been, let alone on a weekend night. We knew we were starting at Curtis Hixon Park and chose a parking garage right by it (probably paid too much, but that's ok).
The Riverwalk is a work in progress that will hopefully be 2.4 miles in length and contain benches, plants, parks, historical markers, and hotels/restaurants lining the edge. Although there's still some construction equipment, the work that's been done so far is great! Part of the walk leads over the water with canopies that have changing lights. You can see the drawbridges with matching lights and boats on the Hillsborough River.

It was not crowded at all and fairly quiet. There were walkers, joggers, couples, families, dog walkers, and cyclists. It was free (aside from parking) and felt safe. I think it's a great addition and use of the river for the city.
