Improvements
Pay-to-Park is being implemented as major improvements are soon to break ground parkwide 2023-24: Fishing and paddling amenities including a natural-gas grill island at the large pavilion, a vending ice machine, and fish cleaning/grinder station; a pet-friendly boardwalk extension to the beachfront dog park, and a visitors’ welcome area for the Wetlands Boardwalk Trail. All projects are grant funded. An overflow gravel parking area has also been approved for the Shoreline/Sunset area.
