Richardson Beach and Macdonald Park Improvements
Preliminary plans for general improvements to Richardson Beach, Richardson Beach Bathhouse and Macdonald Park are aimed at improving access to the water for swimmers and bathers.
Available at right, they were also on display for public feedback at a July 22 information session held at the Richardson Bathhouse, Richardson Beach (at the end of Barrie Street by Murney Tower and Newlands Pavilion).
Residents were also able to submit their opinions during an online-comment period that wrapped up Friday, Aug. 8.
The preliminary plans for improvements include an improved water-entry area that makes use of boulder barriers to calm the water and will be lined with pea stone, which will make entering the water easier for swimmers. The draft plans also show added bike racks, a ramp to the Bathhouse, the addition of lookout points and pathways.
