Centennial Park boat launch will be closed April 1-5

The Centennial Park boat launch at 1059 N. Tamiami Trail, also unofficially known as the 10th Street boat launch, will be closed for emergency repairs Monday, April 1, to Friday, April 5.

Underwater damage to the concrete ramp has created an invisible hazard for boat trailers. The lane known to have significant damage is currently closed. 

All three double-lane ramps will be temporarily closed starting Monday as scuba divers inspect the ramps. Divers will clean and prepare all confirmed damaged areas, then crews will make the necessary repairs.

The boat ramp is expected to reopen to the public by Saturday, April 6. Meanwhile, the boat launch at Ken Thompson Park on City Island remains open to the public.
