Local's Tip
Use the covered lot as your starting point for a greenway walk. Come late afternoon to watch the river, and grab lunch or a drink in the River Arts District after.
What the locals say
The park is named for Jean Webb, who organized Asheville's first river cleanup, and locals still use it as their front door to the French Broad.
