Norristown Installs New Boat Dock at Riverfront Park

NORRISTOWN, PA -- Norristown has installed a new floating boat dock at Riverfront Park on Haws Avenue, the borough announced Firday.

Tri State EZ Dock, Inc. of Seaville, NJ installed the 20’x10’ dock with a ADA approved double rail 8’x4’ gangway. The community dock, funded by Community Development Block Grant funds, is designed to adjust to fluctuating water conditions and will ease entering or exiting a boat, Norristown said.

The municipality said that the installation was meant to continue the Council's work of a "safe, vibrant and accessible waterfront."

“As one of the gems of our community, investing in our waterfront will enhance the quality of life for residents of Norristown” said Council President Sonya Sanders. “We encourage our community to take advantage of this asset.” The Schuylkill River Trail runs parallel to Riverfront Park, offering many opportunities such as boating, fishing, and biking. "

A ribbon cutting ceremony will take place Saturday, September 10 at 2:30 p.m. during the Riverfest festival.
