    PRESS CONFERENCE/PHOTO OPPORTUNITY:



    On Friday, May 4 at 2 p.m., Cleveland Metroparks
    will celebrate the acquisition of Rivergate from the Cleveland
    Rowing Foundation. 



    A brief press conference will be held with additional
    information on the project, and there will be an opportunity for
    attendees to ride in a dragon boat and see sculls, kayaks and
    stand-up paddleboards.  



    Rivergate is a 2.8-acre parcel in the center of Cleveland's
    Flats District on the east bank of the Cuyahoga River, and is part
    of an 8-acre complex assembled by the City of Cleveland, Cleveland
    Rowing Foundation and the Trust for Public Land.



     �Cleveland Metroparks will manage and enhance Rivergate so
    it will be accessible to the public and give visitors a chance to
    connect with the Cuyahoga River,� said Brian Zimmerman, executive
    director of Cleveland Metroparks.  �Plans include a safe
    launch area for people-powered watercraft, a waterfront promenade,
    a concession area, restrooms and an outdoor classroom.�
