Title

A Resolution of the Coral Gables Waterway Advisory Board requesting that the City Commission consider improvements to Ruth Bryan Owen Park consisting of installation of a canoe / kayak launch, repairs to the barbeque area, installation of water fountains and bike rack, and additional trash cans.

Body

At the October 6th Waterway Advisory Board Meeting, the Board made the below motion:

 

“Ruth Bryan Owen Park. (aka: The Girl Scout Hut.) is one of the only two places on the main waterway where canoeists and kayakers can regularly launch their watercraft. For safety reasons, the Waterway Advisory Board recommends that the City install a proper canoe launch at Ruth Bryan Owen Park.  The Board also recommends the City repair the BBQ area, add a water fountain, add a bike rack and add more trash cans.”

 

One of the Waterway Advisory Board’s objectives is to seek and ensure that the waterways remain accessible for recreational use and enjoyment of all.
