West Columbia officials reopen another portion of Riverwalk

West Columbia officials have announced that another portion of the Wyman M. “Mac” Rish Riverwalk and Amphitheater has been reopened to the public.

Officials said they have opened the Riverside Drive parking area and the walkway from Riverside Drive to the 100 block of Sunset Boulevard near Bridgepoint Condominiums. The amphitheater and nearby walkways are also open for visitors. The newly opened portion of the Riverwalk has been closed to visitors since the October floods, officials said.

Visitors are reminded to not enter the portions of the Riverwalk that are marked as closed, officials said. Those portions of the park include the 100 block of Sunset Boulevard to Gervais Street Bridge and the southernmost portion of the park near the 800 block of Alexander Road.
