Revamping Waterford's Heart Plaza | Waterford News

Waterford’s iconic William Vincent Wallace Plaza is getting a major makeover — think fresh surfacing, upgraded canopy and lighting, plus more greenery to make it cooler, greener, and way more inviting. Designed by Áit Urbanism + Landscape with DBFL on engineering, this $25 million revamp aims to turn the beloved downtown hub into a flexible, people-first space perfect for events, performances, or just relaxing by the river. Originally built in 2001 as part of Waterford’s Millennium Projects, the plaza has served as a community heartbeat for 25 years — now it’s time for a refresh.
