Murals depicting the history of Point Pleasant stretch along the river side of the floodwall. There are also several large stainless steel sculptures created by local artist Bob Roach and a few interpretive signs. A mile long trail follows the river. The location of the Silver Bridge which collapsed on December 15, 1967, killing 46 people and injuring 9, can be viewed from the trail. A replacement bridge, the Silver Memorial Bridge, was built about 1 mile downstream.
The park is accessible. A very short section of the trail is paved. The rest is surfaced with rough gravel and is not accessible.
RVs can be parked on the surrounding streets. We parked in a lot on the corner of Main and Third. The sidewalk curb cuts are steep. Park 38.8428, -82.13964
