Gravel Lakes Fishing Facility Will Reopen on Monday, April 21!
We are pleased to inform our residents that the Gravel Lakes Fishing Facility will reopen to the public for normal hours of operation (Sunrise to Sunset) on Monday April 21, 2025. Our contractor has completed the repairs on the fishing pier to ensure that the facility is safe for our residents and park visitors.
In addition to the fishing pier repairs, the city will be installing new automated gates at the vehicle entrance. This will take place during the next few weeks and is scheduled to be completed by Memorial weekend. The facility will remain open during this work. The gates will provide improved controlled access to the fishing facility, ensuring that the site is safe and accessible.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during the emergency repairs and new automated gate installation.
