Tidewater Aquatic Center / Martin Luther King Shoreline Expansion
A Park in Development

The Tidewater area of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Regional Shoreline is the site of the Tidewater Aquatic Center (under construction) which will include a boathouse and programs in competitive rowing, sea kayaking and canoeing, classes in boating and water safety, and boat rentals. Outreach to local youth will be an important element of the programs. 

The Tidewater Aquatic Center project will include a meeting room, training area, security residence, dock, and storage for various types of boats.  The Aquatic Center location is shown below, just to the left of the green developed park areas.
