The Red River is the picturesque setting for Bossier City's unique shopping and entertainment destination, Louisiana Boardwalk. Across the Red River from downtown Shreveport, the project's first phase opened in spectacular fashion in November, 2003, with the state's first Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World. The remainder of Boardwalk opened in May 2005 and joined a vibrant casino district nestled along the majestic riverfront for nearly a half-mile. Louisiana Boardwalk is the first lifestyle center to open in the state of Louisiana offering outlet shopping, an entertainment district and riverfront dining.
Boardwalk Promenade provides strollers, shoppers and riverfront diners with over 2500 feet of river views. Adorned with five unique seating areas, the Boardwalk Promenade offers an ambiance that will become an instant trademark for the area. Massive light pillars beckon sightseers from all areas and the unique seating areas offer twinkling lights overhead – guaranteeing stars no matter the weather. The Boardwalk Promenade offers access to the entire sight and has views of downtown Shreveport and the neon-framed Texas Street Bridge.
The Magnolia Belle Trolley is fashioned after the classic breezer trolley of the 1920's and 1930's. It has open sides and fronts, will seat up to 40 people and allow at least six to stand. The trolley is built to accommodate wheelchairs and will run on tracks on Boardwalk Boulevard, bringing visitors and shoppers from Bass Pro Outdoor World to the parking garage – and everywhere in between. The Magnolia Belle will operate during Boardwalk hours of operation.
