Construction at the new County Goffinsville Park is well underway and tentative completion is expected around March or April. Nassau County Maintenance and Recreation Department Director Daniel Salmon said the park will have a boat ramp, fishing pier, canoe/kayak launch with a floating dock. There will also be a building with restrooms and a section for a vendor to have a bait and tackle shop - which may come somewhat later after the park opens. A concrete bulkhead is being constructed to prevent errosion which has been a traditional problem at Goffinsville and the County is planning a space for a potential residence for a security person in hopes that their presence would deter dumping and vandalism. Trails, playground equipment, and picnic tables will also be part of the park to comlete a great family recreation area.
Mr. Salmon said that the Contractor is Hashman construction and the project cost is estimated at $2.17 million dollars. Funding has come from grants, Regional Impact Fees and the 1 cent fund.
I snapped some pictures on my last fishing trip, one of the boat ramp and one of the fishing pier.
