Now Open: Bryan County Fisherman's Co-Op
Several families were enjoying the upgrades to the dock and pier Thursday. Commission Chairman Carter Infinger told WSAV he was there for the first boat to be put in over Memorial Day weekend.
'I think everybody I talked to is very excited about it and excited about the ability to hang out and fish a little bit and enjoy the park and the trails,' Infinger said.
The public can now enjoy boat trailer access parking, four-lane concrete boat ramps, floating docks, a fishing boardwalk, a waterfront pavilion, and several picnic tables.
WSAV talked with two teens who were out there for hours on Thursday. They shared their excitement to cast a line and enjoy the sun.
'It's really beautiful, a pretty view. The improvements added a lot, so more people can come. It's pretty awesome,' Kaitlyn Norris said.
Bailey Beichler said, 'Last time I was here, we sat here and ate lunch. It was really pretty. With the new dock, there's more areas to fish.'
Commission Chairman Carter Infinger estimated they saved around $3 million doing the work themselves, not to mention state and private funding.
Infinger said he wants this to be a safe and fun place for families to come and enjoy. He asked the public treat it with care.
'We do have about 25 to 30 cameras down there. It's monitored, so if things go on down there, we are aware of it. Just remember, if you see something, say something,' he said.
Phase two of the project, which will enhance the walking trails and more, will be completed within the next year, according to Infinger.

I appreciate Meghan Cox Gurdon's 'Put Down the Phone and Pull Out a Book' (op-ed, July 23) and exercise a 'bit of countercultural aggression' myself on occasion. When at the car dealership or medical office I ask those around me if they would object to my turning off the waiting room television so that I may enjoy reading my book. Replies invariably range from 'not at all' to 'please do' to quiet smiles of approval as I turn the TV off. Cynthia Rouvalis
