THEY’RE ALL HERE! That’s right—whales, dolphins, ospreys, egrets, and seagulls! Lawns are green, flowers are blooming, and the island is full of life everywhere you turn. All we need is you!
EXCITING OPENINGS: Construction is still ongoing, but two long awaited island projects will conclude soon. In Avalon, work on the Bay Park Marina has been underway since last fall, and it’s expected to be opened by Memorial Day Weekend. The most recent update from the borough indicated that the ramp and stairs leading to the dockmaster’s building were completed last week. Boaters who keep their boats at the marina will be notified when they can return to their slips. In Stone Harbor, the 96th Street Playground will be ready for the summer season according to the most recent borough update. Work has been underway for months, and much of the playground has already taken shape.
AVALON HISTORY CENTER’S PHOTO CONTEST is now open! Non-professional photographers are invited to submit up to four of their works in the following categories: Portrait and Personality; Nature; Scenic; Avalon; Children’s category (under 12). If you’ve captured a showstopper, why not submit it for consideration? All entries are due by May 24th.
