Enjoy New Dock at Idylwood Park

The Idylwood Park dock will be closed to the public for approximately two weeks in mid-October as work begins to install a new aluminum dock. Improvements include a non-slip surface, ADA compliant handrails for fishing activities, and a new swim ladder. The new dock replaces the original structure built in the 1970’s.
