Collingwood is getting a new addition.
A new floating dock with connecting ramp and boat launcher at Harbourview Park will provide greater access to Collingwood’s waterfront, introducing a fully accessible pathway from land to water.
The Harbourview Park accessible docks and boat launch will support barrier free recreation, social boating activities, and participation in competitive paddling sports.
It will also support all types of abilities, including those with disabilities, chronic injuries, knee/hip replacements, and older, less mobile adults in the community.
Town Staff is working hard to complete construction on an accessible path that will connect the existing asphalt trail in Harbourview Park to the new dock’s gangplank.
New Accessible Floating Dock w/ ramp & boat launcher at Harbourview Park! Great partnership between the Town of Collingwood, Collingwood Dragon Boat & Canoe Club, Collingwood Rowing Club, & Federal funding from the Enabling Accessibility Fund >> https://t.co/lmaxW0y6tu pic.twitter.com/47qbOhWFL4
