The
Riverwalk, Warren
Community Amphitheatre, and Kinsman House grounds are
the foundation of the city's comprehensive strategy to stimulate
economic and community development in downtown Warren.
Through the preservation of existing structures and the
planned development of new facilities, these community resources
will coordinate recreation, historic preservation, and cultural opportunities for residents and visitors.

The exterior restoration
of the Kinsman House
and Land Office is complete. This $500,000 project included
extensive restoration work to both structures: foundation,
masonry, siding, and window restoration, repair of
porches and bays, as well as a return to historic color
schemes and the replacement of historic sandstone sidewalks.
Since 2004, the
Warren Community Amphitheater has played host to a wide
variety of
entertainment programs throughout the summer months.
In 2006, over $600,000
was invested in the construction of the
Riverwalk Stagehouse, truly
the crown jewel in this spectacular public project.
As
development progresses,
the
Riverwalk will be a strategic component of the Great Ohio
Lake-to-River Greenway Trail,
and a
segment of other existing
ped-bike
trails along natural waterways and abandoned
railroad corridors throughout
the
state of Ohio.
