The Parkland Beach Marina Association has orchestrated the current work being performed. On February 1st, Northside Construction began dredging south of the marina at the public beach area to accommodate deeper water recreational activities. This will be approximately 30m x 45m, up to a depth of 1.5m  This work will require storage of more Organic material at the very south side of the beach area for hauling away in the spring.  The good sand will be spread on the beach in the spring and will be stored on the north side of the sandy beach area.
