The Town of Huntington announced last week the commencement of construction at Halesite Marina Park, the waterfront park located directly behind the Halesite Fire Department north of Halesite Marina. In the coming months, the park will be undergoing a major facelift.
The plans will include replacing the 60-year old bulkhead and adding new expanded floats to benefit transient and resident boaters. The parking lot will also be redesigned to improve traffic flow and add an additional 15 parking stalls, and the existing flagpole will be replaced to include a flag lighter with LED lighting.
The new park plans were designed to be consistent with the look of Halesite Marina. Concrete paths will be replaced with brick pavers and decorative pedestrian street lighting will be added. The entire park will also be replanted with native species plants and natural pollinators to improve the overall environmental feel of the park
“Our parks are a lifeline for our residents,” said Huntington Supervisor Ed Smyth. “My administration is fully committed to improving our parks and adding to the quality of life for taxpayers, their families and visitors alike.”
Completion of the project is slated for the end of summer 2024. The planting will begin in the fall of next year.
