Project Description
The project will improve boat ramps and access docks at Lincoln Park in the City of Valparaiso to increase efficiency of temporary mooring, reduce potential impact to nearby seagrasses, and enhance safe recreational access to Boggy Bayou. The park currently hosts public access facilities including swimming areas, picnic areas, restrooms, showers, a playground area, parking, an access pier, and two single-lane boat ramps. The existing concrete boat ramps have experienced undermining, concrete deterioration, and sedimentation that poses public safety hazards, hinders access, and requires routine maintenance by the City. The project would also repair and expand the existing unpaved parking lot.
