Thread: New Scarborough Boat Ramp

    New Scarborough Boat Ramp

    For those of you who don't know already, the newly refurbished boat ramp on Bird'O'Passage parade is open. Its a marked four lane ramp with a centre floating pontoon, with sandy(muddy) areas either side of the ramp. New lighting has been installed (though I havent seen it on at night so cant comment on its effectiveness). Will be interested to see how this ramp lasts as the construction method is one I havent seen before (though i am sure others have).

    Cheers

    G'day Greg,

    I've also watched this with interest because the old ramp was useless for bigger boats and we desperately needed a place where passengers (especially children) could be safely brought aboard or put ashore before the launching and retrieving.

    I look forward to reviews from users of the new ramp.

    Regards,

    The dredge and the barge have been sitting there for almost the duration of the construction period, but I havent seen it in operation at all. Maybe its there for the construction of the new marina complex. I notice that the drege has now gone but the barge is still there. Good luck on friday Jim.

    Cheers
    Greg
