Description
My father, Mother and I went to visit the fishing pier at Ft. Nathan Hale as we have done for over 25 years yesterday and we were disappointed and saddened with the condition of the park. The fishing pier has yet to be rebuilt or repaired and the park was littered with debris. The play area was dirty and nearly defunct. My senior aged father was clearly upset to see the place they would once travel to with us every weekend during fishing season for over 25 years. Where, we as a family of 5 shared many great memories and wish to share with their grandchildren. We are a fishing family and this was a place we enjoyed bonding with fellow fishermen and with each other. We want to know when will the pier will get rebuilt and/or how can we help.

The Park is maintained by the City, and has been cleaned up since Irene and then again after Sandy. The pier in Ft Hale Park is owned and maintained by the State DEEP. We are meeting with the State and will push to find out their plans for this pier.
I will put this as acknowledged and in the "Parks Request" category, taking responsibility for the City to communicate what we learn from the State and to push them to resolve.

I've assigned myself to this issue so that I can tack and it won't fall back through the cracks. Thanks to the efforts of Sen. Looney the Pier will be transferred from the State to the City and the renovation has been funded. If you have thoughts on what a new pier should include feel free to use this thread to share for the design teams consideration.

There will be another meeting this spring to update on progress and get additional community feedback.
