Kingston Point Beach gate will not be open until 7:00am
The phone number on the gate will not get you anything.
Gate was closed again…
Just a reminder…call ahead!
Apparently phone number given (Kingston Police Department) no longer reliable as they do not manage the opening/closing of gate. The Kingston Parks and Recreation department is supposed to take care of this from now on. ???
Rowers docks under the Wurts Street Bridge were removed
I have noticed the docks under the Wurts Street Bridge are missing so I asked what was the plan for them. These are the only truly “public” docks with access to the Rondout Creek here in Kingston.
The City sought and received a DEC grant to replace the public launch at Dock Street. Julie Noble is Project Manager for this project. At this point the City has gotten into contract with the State. The next step is stakeholder outreach, then design, procurement and installation. Of course, installation cannot happen until the Wurts Street bridge is complete.
Last week on my early morning walk
I love the early morning’s on Kingston Point Beach. Almost always the water is calm and it is very quiet. As soon as the weather improves (when the water plus air temperature is above 100 degrees) this is where I will launch my boat for a lovely two mile row.
Here you see a barge pushing its cargo North towards Albany. The seagulls vie for bits of food in the shallow waters of low tide. In the distance the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge is shrouded with morning mist. Alot of people drive out here just to take in the peaceful scene. It calms the mind before a long day of, well, whatever.
