Development of Waterfront Park is substantially complete. The use of the Park
for festivals and special events brings thousands of visitors to the Waterfront.
The use of the festival site should be maximized. Recent installation of an
irrigation system will improve the viability of grass in that area of the Park.
Public restrooms should be made available near the northern end of the
waterfront. (Refer to Element B: Infrastructure
Improvements). Several existing and proposed developments increase the need
for such facilities:
- Festivals
- Small boat launch
- Skatepark and rink
- Fishing pier behind the Water Treatment Plant.
A small support facility is required by the Department of Parks &
Recreation for maintenance and service for Waterfront Park, the Boathouse and
the Skatepark.
The Battery Park Masterplan should be implemented in association with
Waterfront Development. Improvements yet to be implemented include a pedestrian
link from Sherman Street to Depot Street and redevelopment of the Battery Park
Extension and lower plaza at College Street.
The view of the Waterfront from Battery Park should be formally recognized as
an asset by installing descriptive signs along the park wall pointing to notable
features on the Waterfront below.
