Rio Park
New Walking Park in Carm
Rio Park is a 6.24-acre undeveloped park that is adjacent to the CAWD footbridge area. It is owned by the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea and is currently used as a temporary corporation yard for wood chips, large tree stumps, and the storage of beach fire pits.
The original design vision was for this to be a passive park in a sunken-bowl shape with no permanent structures (other than removable playground equipment) that could act as an important flood control if needed. This open space will provide ample walking and biking terrain.
