We envision a place on the river for everyone. A place where residents can walk the dog, ride a bike or just walk, take the kids swimming on a warm summer day, launch kayaks, canoes, lazers, or dinghys. A place where our visitors can relax in the shade of a giant oak tree, go fishing off the end of a dock, relax on a bench, play a game of checkers. A place where marina users can stretch their legs and  paddlers touring the islands can come to land and spruce up for an evening at one of our restaurants. A place, in winter, where people can go sledding or skating.

Here are some parts of our plan:
• secure and shoreline with fish-friendly boulders
• attractive lighting
• bike racks, benches, picnic tables, chess table
• limestone retaining wall between beach & road has been completed
• water system for irrigation
• manage the beach area
• marking and safety equipment for the beach
• accessible brick or limestone walkways from the municipal marina along the waterfront, beach and playground
• a fishing dock with access for handicapped use
• small craft dock for launching kayaks, canoes etc. with short-term parking for loading
• shelter for launch preparation/arrivals has been built for use as a shelter for all users in case of rain (This was a joint project with the Gananoque Lions Club along with funding from the Eastern Ontario Development Program).
• trees, shrubs, hedging: a full careful landscaping, some of which has been completed.
• winter skating on the river
• playground equipment for young children
• Traffic management that would allow tobogganing on Bay Street hill
