Kingston’s waterfront is poised for a major transformation as plans move ahead for the development of a 25-kilometre linear park stretching along the Kingston Harbour from downtown Kingston to Port Royal.

The project, dubbed the Kingston Harbour Walk, is being spearheaded by the Urban Development Corporation (UDC) and is expected to create a vibrant public space where residents and visitors can walk, jog, relax, and enjoy greater access to one of the world’s largest natural harbours.

The planned development will build on the existing boardwalk in downtown Kingston, which currently extends from the Marine Police Station area to Rae Town. The UDC intends to expand the waterfront pathway in phases, eventually connecting it to Harbour View in St Andrew and then continuing to Port Royal.
