The Town of Huntington is pleased to announce the commencement of construction at Halesite Marina Park. Halesite Marina Park is the waterfront park located directly behind the Halesite Fire Department north of Halesite Marina. In the coming months, Halesite Marina Park will be undergoing a major facelift.
The plans will include:
- Replacing the 60-year old bulkhead and new expanded floats to benefit transient and resident boaters.
- A redesign of the parking lot to improve traffic flow and add an additional 15 parking stalls.
- Replacement of the existing flagpole, including a flag lighter with LED lighting.
The overall look of the park will be consistent with Halesite Marina; concrete paths will be replaced with brick pavers and decorative pedestrian street lighting will be added. The entire park will 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 2024.
