Broadway Park gets a new dock
ERICK BENGEL PHOTO
A new dock goes in at Broadway Park that will enable handicapped people to board a boat or kayak easier. Joe Ford,
center, co-owner of Oregon Marine Construction, helps align the dock with two new steel pilings. In the foreground are
Keith Martin, left, a deck hand, and Brien Mill, right, the lead fabricator. The EZ Dock will include an “EZ Launch” for ADA
accessibility. Funding for the dock came from a $40,000 grant from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, which
was given to the Necanicum Watershed Council. The Sunset Park and Recreation District also is partnering with the
watershed council and the city of Seaside in the dock’s installation.
