On September 22, 2020, City Council voted to create a public dock and greenspace in the space formerly leased to the commercial watersports operation.
On November 2023, City Council awarded a contract to Truluck for the construction of a new public dock, which will include a 16' wide pier with covered area with benches and swings, a new floating dock with an ADA compliant gangway, kayak and stand-up paddle board launch.
Construction began on April 2024, and the anticipated completion date is June 1, 2024.
