For the first time since opening in 1933, the Onondaga Lake Park Marina in Liverpool, New York, is undergoing a major redevelopment. The project by Onondaga County Parks focuses on upgrading the marina’s infrastructure and increasing capacity for recreational vessels.
The redevelopment will add 28 boat slips and 11 dedicated slips for personal watercraft, increasing the marina’s total capacity to 135 slips. Work in the marina basin is expected to continue until early May, and construction on land will continue through early summer.
The project includes the installation of a new steel seawall along the marina’s A-wall to replace the existing retaining wall. It will also bring new docks to the A, C, D and E-walls, including dedicated spaces for personal watercraft, and the B-Wall docks will be refurbished. A new pump-out dock is also planned as part of the redevelopment.
Plans also include a new bathroom building, upgraded electrical and water services across the marina and an expanded parking area.
According to a report by Glenn Coin for syracuse.com, the redevelopment is estimated to cost about $13.7 million USD. The project has been permitted by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and will involve removing sediment from the marina basin, with roughly 500 dump trucks of material expected to be extracted.
