Bay Ridge eco dock grand opening set for Oct. 17
Kayakers and other aquatic fans are going to be happy to hear this news: the southern Brooklyn’s first eco dock will have its grand opening on Oct. 17.
Located at the end of the 69th Street pier, the Bay Ridge Community Eco Dock will be open to the public starting on that date for kayaking, marine life studies, and to provide New Yorkers with a place from which to board sloops and other small vessels that will be anchoring there.
The announcement was made by the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance, which has been working with the city’s Department of Parks and Recreation and Councilman Vincent Gentile (D-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Bensonhurst) to plan activities at the eco dock. Details on the opening day activities are still being worked out, according to a spokesman for Gentile.
