Central Park Lake Restoration

posted on 8/1/17

The Central Park in-lake restoration work began in 2017, removing over 130,000 cubic yards of excess sediment from the lake, protecting shorelines from erosion, rebuilding the boat ramp and parking lot, renovating the beach, and adding informational kiosks and a new accessible fishing pier.
