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/turtle observtion platform with handicapped access • small craft dock for launching kayaks, canoes etc. with short-term parking for loading • shelter for launch preparation/arrivals has been built 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
