Gateway Arch Park Foundation Launches New Website

ST. LOUIS, MO — The Gateway Arch Park Foundation has launched a new website (www.ArchPark.org) highlighting the renovated spaces at Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, Gateway Arch, riverfront, and Kiener Plaza — together referred to as Gateway Arch Park. The new website also highlights public events, the Foundation’s membership program and ways the community can support the Arch.

While the previous site conveyed the CityArchRiver project and construction updates, the new site focusses on completed park spaces and how the public can enjoy and support the new Arch experience. Visitors can learn about the legacy of the historic CityArchRiver project on an interactive timeline. Popular features from the old website remain, such as the interactive webcams.

“As we near the grand opening of the new park, museum, and visitor center, this new website shows the transformed and active Gateway Arch Park in exciting ways,” said Ryan McClure, director of communications and activation for Gateway Arch Park Foundation. “We want folks to see that this is their park to enjoy and use with many activities and events all year.”

The website makes it easy for visitors to find events in the Gateway Arch Park area and find information on planning their own event — public or private. Visitors can also support the mission of the Gateway Arch Park Foundation by becoming a Gateway Arch Park Friend or shop for new merchandise on the Foundation’s online store — including two new t-shirts designed by STL Style House.

In early 2018, the Foundation, working with the National Park Service, will launch a new section of the website featuring stories from the new Museum at the Gateway Arch, which will have a grand opening July 4, 2018.
