Restoration of Lake Merritt Municipal
Boathouse
A Measure DD Project
Project Description
 This
project restored
the Municipal Boathouse to its original condition with a new program to
accommodate public uses (such as boating, a restaurant and a meeting
hall) rather than City offices. Public access to the dock was improved, the arches
were reopened to allow for boat storage,
landscape and irrigation was improved, and the parking lot was
redesigned to improve shoreline circulation. The building design is
environmentally-friendly "LEED" certified.
