The developers of Royal Bay are excited to show the public what theyB次元官网网址檝e been up to, and on Sept. 10 theyB次元官网网址檒l officially open the Royal Bay Beachpark.

ItB次元官网网址檚 a free celebration that will include live music, food trucks and a host of entertainment and sporting activities.

Kayak tours will be offered, and thereB次元官网网址檚 no requirement to bring your own boat, as kayaks and standup paddle boards will be available.

Additionally, beach volleyball, a bouncy castle and the band Shaky Ground will keep kids and adults busy throughout the afternoon.

The opening will offer a sneak peak of whatB次元官网网址檚 to come and the park, on which construction began in early August, will be open on Saturdays and Sundays from dawn to dusk beginning on Sept. 11. It will open daily some time in the fall, when construction has been completed.

Work remains ongoing in the leadup to the opening. A stairway down to the shoreline is under construction, but is expected to be completed before Sept. 10. An area has been set aside for a playground, but that wonB次元官网网址檛 be completed until late fall. Eventually, the plan is to bring in sand to create an area for sun bathing and castle building by the water.

Throughout the construction of the project, environmental considerations remain at the forefront of the developersB次元官网网址� minds. B次元官网网址淲e work with the proper people so that we donB次元官网网址檛 disrupt any ecosystems,B次元官网网址� explained Ben Mycroft, the projectB次元官网网址檚 director.

While the B次元官网网址淏eachparkB次元官网网址� B次元官网网址� which is how developers have stylized the name B次元官网网址� is privately owned, itB次元官网网址檒l be open to the public and will give West Shore residents a chance to explore an area of the coast that has been inaccessible for 100 years. The completed version of the park will stand for about 10 years as the rest of the community gets built out. Eventually, the park will have a different look, as part of the developersB次元官网网址� master plan, but itB次元官网网址檒l remain an oceanside park in roughly the same location.

B次元官网网址淒eveloping the beach park was important to do up front,B次元官网网址� said Mycroft, later adding that 100 acres of parks are planned for the sprawling, 419-acre community. B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e very proud of that,B次元官网网址� he said.
