All chamber members are welcome to attend a ribbon cutting for the new 200' public pier at Painesville Township Park on Tuesday, October 17. There will be a short public meeting of the Board of Park Commissioners at 5:00 pm in the dance hall. We will then walk down to cut the ribbon at the pier at approximately 5:30 pm.
In 1991 Lake Metroparks entered into a cooperative agreement with the Painesville Township Park Board to improve and manage the property and since that date over 2.5 million visitors have enjoyed the park. Unfortunately, erosion was taking its toll on the shoreline and forced the agency to close the trail to the beach several years ago. In partnership with the Painesville Township Park Board, a plan was developed to stabilize the eroding hillside and build a new public pier.
Over the past three years, a new stone revetment wall was designed and constructed that will protect the park property from further damage. The new pier was completed this year. An ADA-accessible walkway and stairs lead down to the pier, which extends 200 feet into the water and provides public access to our region's greatest natural resource: Lake Erie. The pier is a great place to marvel at stunning views of the lake and the setting sun as well as to witness bald eagles fly over the shoreline in search of a meal. The pier also provides excellent fishing access for a wide variety of fish including smallmouth bass, perch, walleye and steelhead trout.
