PSA: Input Welcome for new Community Boat House; Site Demolition to Begin

The Town of Paradise has acquired the property located at 1717 Topsail Road and is proposing to make the site a Community Boat House for Octagon Pond. 

This Fall, site work involves removing the current structure at the location. Crews have removed any items from the building that can be re-purposed for other uses. Building demolition will begin on Wednesday, September 15 and is expected to be completed by Friday, September 17. During site demolition, the sidewalk in the area will be closed and residents are asked to avoid the site.  

The Town’s Recreation and Open Space Master Plan identified the potential for water activities and a Community Boat House, which would also offer storage to the Avalon Dragons for their paddle boat program, for Octagon Pond. The Town looks forward to working with the Avalon Dragons on this project. 

As part of the planning for the proposed Community Boat House, the Town is seeking input from residents and community groups on the types of amenities to bring to the area. Suggestions, comments and ideas can be submitted via email.  

Updates on the Community Boat House project will be provided on the Town website and social media.
