Green Bay breaks ground on Phase II Shipyard redevelopment along Fox River

GREEN BAY (WLUK) -- The second phase of a redevelopment project along the Fox River in Green Bay is breaking ground.

City leaders officially broke ground on Phase II of the Shipyard site in the downtown Broadway District Monday.

This $14.3 million project transforms a long-idle stretch of the Fox River into a vibrant public park featuring a great lawn, urban beach, dog park, splash pad, lit volleyball courts, shipping crane-themed playground, and a riverfront container bar set to open in 2027.

The first phase of construction for the Shipyard District, an area just north of the Mason Street Bridge on the western edge of the Fox River, included a riverfront promenade, floating docks, fishing pier and kayak launch.

Phase three of the project includes old shipping containers to house seasonal or limited-time businesses. There is no timeline for when that work could begin.
