Stephen Juba Park, named after Stephen Juba, is located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It is a waterfront park on the western bank of the Red River and runs from downtown Winnipeg to the Exchange District. The park features bike paths, landscaping and a Water Taxi dock. The park has an extensive multi-user path system, open areas and public art works by local artists. [1]
The park was created in 1983 after the city and province agreed to set aside waterfront land for a park. [2] Construction of the park began in August 1983, funded jointly by the province and the city of Winnipeg. [3]
The City of Winnipeg dedicated the park to Stephen Juba on 14 October 1983, when they unveiled a monument to him at the park. [4] Two committees had recommended naming the park after the long-serving politician. [2] The park underwent significant upgrades as part of the City of Winnipeg's $9.1 million Waterfront Drive project in 2004. [1] The redevelopment redesigned the park to make the riverfront more accessible to the community. [5]
