A third phase (late ‘80s) included major parking lot redevelopment of the post office parking lot, the Dark Horse parking lot, on-going river corridor beautification, plus the new “Riverwalk I project east of the post office parking lot. By the spring of 1988, Riverside Plaza was completed. Plans for extending the Riverwalk east and west of the plaza continued. Tregent Park, Peacock Park and other visitor amenities were also completed.

Post Office on Riverside Drive before Urban Renewal efforts. This is where most residents meet on a daily basis! The Post Office after EPURA ... a much friendlier place for people to meet. Looking at the Water Wheel prior to Urban Renewal. The commercial entities here were destroyed by the flood. The land was purchased to be converted into Tregent Park, one of many "pocket parks" in the Downtown area.  Tregent Park (named after Harry Tregent, Mayor at the time of the flood and early Urban Renewal) west of the Water Wheel. Public facilities, picnic tables, trees, grass plus access to Fall River itself.
