Construction has commenced on the planned amenities complex at The RiverTown community, St. Johns County’s only master-planned riverfront residential development. Slated for completion in Spring 2012, the expansive amenities complex, which is planned to include The RiverHouse resident clubhouse and other resort-style recreational amenities, will serve as a gathering place for families and friends to socialize and relax.

The amenities complex will offer convenient access to RiverTown’s Main Street and Lakes neighborhoods. The planned recreational amenities will feature a fitness/lap pool, splash pool with slide, Har-Tru Hydrocourt tennis courts and stadium court and play fields. A fitness center boasting more than 3,500 square feet will offer individual and group fitness areas, men and women’s locker rooms, pool accessibility and a poolside veranda.  Featuring more than 3,000 square feet, the RiverHouse will be the community’s social club, providing space for gatherings and events with a club room, meeting rooms, outdoor palm court with bar area, kitchen and bathrooms.

Opening by the end of the year, Riverfront Park is planned as one of the signature elements of the community that highlights RiverTown’s connection to nature and the river. Located along approximately one mile of the St. Johns River, the park will encompass nearly 58 acres of natural areas and canopy trees, as well as passive recreational activities, a fishing pier, waterfront overlook areas and a restroom pavilion. The park will include a central event lawn with views of the river and pier, as well as views of the community’s entry drive and The RiverHouse. Residents and visitors will also enjoy planned walking and jogging trails along the riverfront and throughout the park, which will be open to the public.

Come see the progress for yourself and let us know what you think! The RiverTown welcome center is located at 39 Riverwalk Blvd. in St. Johns, Fla.
