When you're out walking the Riverwalk, wouldn't it be nice to be able to buy a bottle of ice cold water or maybe an ice cream cone? Well, Friends of the Riverwalk is now providing ice cream and cold water vending along the Riverwalk in the Cotanchobee Park area.

Many thanks to the City's Parks and Recreation Department for expediting the permitting process and being a great partner in providing this needed service.
