If you’re planning to go fishing or spending time outside this summer, be sure to check out the brand new state-of-the-art, ADA accessible fishing pier at O’Sullivan’s Island Recreation Park! I attended the ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, and it is a wonderful addition to the region.
The platform is 80 feet long, 16 feet wide, and extends 30 feet into the river. It contains newly built benches, a lowered railing for ADA-accessible casting, a bait cutting station with flowing water to keep it clean, and a collection station for discarded fishing lines. It is adjacent to Scoot & Paddle, a new business in Derby offering kayak and paddle board rentals!
