Origin Park is revitalizing a space that was once brownfield sites, junkyards, and industrial areas.

River Heritage Conservancy, which is behind the development of the park, has shared a couple of features planned for the park.

One of those is an Olympic-level whitewater course. It will feature two channels, one for competition use that is 1,700 feet and another 2,500-foot channel for whitewater rafting.

This feature of the park is expected to serve as a key piece of the park, with officials saying it will be unlike anything in the Midwest.

Calibre Engineering's Whitewater Division is the lead designer for this feature of the park.

The other feature revealed is a universally accessible zipline experience. This will have dual vantage points across the whitewater facility and guests would have a panoramic view of the park, according to officials.

One of the features of the zipline will be the ability to increase or decrease its speed based on the guest's needs or preferences.
