Park presentation outlines floating dock and future canoe/kayak races
Summary
A park-board presentation referenced work by State Rep. Tim Yoakam on a floating dock and canoe/kayak races; board members said dock construction and a kayak kiosk are expected next year and discussed possible 13‑mile race routing and logistics.
Board members recounted a park-board presentation by State Representative Tim Yoakam that covered a proposed floating dock and recreational river programming, including timed canoe and kayak races. The chair told members Tim discussed early years of his race project, saying that "with the first year they did, they had 2 people, and now it's up over 100," and offered assistance to help organize similar events locally.
Members discussed the floating dock's likely cost (a rough figure of about $60,000 was mentioned) and said several options for procurement and locations will be presented next month. The board was told a kayak kiosk and some docks are planned for installation next year; members volunteered to scout appropriate upriver launch points and to consult local river users to determine a suitable 13‑mile course finish for Attica.
