Construction on the third phase of War Memorial Field began March 22, including the expansion of the parking lot and additional landscape/lighting and boat trailer parking, replacement of the boat ramp and the addition of a permanent restroom, non-motorized launch, boat wash station and ADA walkway to the waterfront.
Construction has begun on the Memorial Field boat ramp in Sandpoint. Photo courtesy city of Sandpoint.
The parking lot will be closed during the construction period and parking will also be restricted between the two driveway entrances on Ontario Street. The newly constructed parking lot and launch will open May 28th for Memorial Day Weekend.
Meanwhile, the city received preliminary notice of a grant award to fund the new boat docks early next year. Construction is expected to occur before the 2022 boating season.
