Veronica Russell, marketing and information specialist at
the Seaside Visitors Bureau, left, and Necanicum Water-
shed Council Coordinator Melyssa Graeper were among
the first people to use the new Broadway Park dock when
it opened to the public in March. The EZ-Dock, which sits in
the Necanicum River, includes a kayak/canoe launch with
an accessible transfer system that makes it ADA compliant.
The dock project was completed through a partnership
of the city, the watershed council and the Sunset Empire
Park & Recreation District and with a $40,000 grant from
Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife’s Restoration and
Enhancement Board.
