Restoration of Lake Merritt Municipal Boathouse
A Measure DD Project


Project Description

Restore the Municipal Boathouse to its original condition, with a new program to accommodate public uses (such as boating, a restaurant and a meeting hall) rather than City offices. Public access to the dock will be improved, the arches will be reopened to allow for boat storage, landscape and irrigation will be improved, and the parking lot will be redesigned to improve shoreline circulation. The building design will be environmentally-friendly "LEED" certified.
