Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale has its origin with the City of Fort Lauderdale. In December 1988, only three years after securing funding for a linear public park along the New River, the City established Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale to facilitate in the design as well as develop fundraising and advocacy efforts. Since its launch, we have played a significant role in obtaining a "regional park" designation from Broward County; guiding redevelopment and Park expansion efforts; and contributing to the three most recent City plans for enhancing the downtown core. Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale works closely with the City, the County, the Downtown Development Authority of Fort Lauderdale, and other important partners in the public and private sectors in overseeing the development, activation and growth for our linear park and downtown Riverwalk District.  It is through these partnerships that we work to produce events and activities benefiting the Park and the city. These events and activities have made Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale an invested participant in the growth of Fort Lauderdale and the Riverwalk District in Downtown.
 Go Riverwalk, provides up to date information about local happenings in the city and downtown. We lists all Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale events and activities as well as others with 12 annual issues. More than 15,000 editions are distributed to members and subscribers and are available at up to 300 locations around the community. Celebrating Ten Years in 2013, GO Riverwalk Magazine is recognized today as a standard in the community and Fort Lauderdale's City Magazine with a comprehensive entertainment guide and business directory.
Celebrating 27 years, Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale continues to do a tremendous amount of work to heighten the profile of the linear park and our downtown. We continue to partner with all of the stakeholders in the area and the City of Fort Lauderdale to improve the Park features for our community. In so doing, Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale has secured its own position as the preeminent organization engaged in promoting the downtown and the Park as a place to live, work and play. We are a perfect destination!.
