Oyster Bay Town Councilman Louis B. Imbroto announces that residents interested in enjoying time on the water can now store their canoe, kayak or dinghy in racks conveniently located at Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park & Beach in Oyster Bay and at the Harry Tappen Beach, Pool and Marina in Glenwood Landing.
“These two locations provide outstanding access to our beautiful waterways on the north shore,” Councilman Imbroto said. “Canoes, kayaks and dinghies give outdoor enthusiasts a unique opportunity to navigate and closely explore the harbors and its serene coves and tributaries. The nearby racks make the process easy for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy this leisure activity for the entire season, which begins April 1st.”
Applications to rent rack space are available at the Parks Department’s Office of Beaches, located in Town Hall South, located at 977 Hicksville Road in Massapequa. Prices for the season are $150 for residents and $300 for non-residents. Rentals begin March 1, 2018. The season begins April 1st and extends through December 31, 2018. Two kayaks can be placed in a rack. All other vessels are limited to one.
“Activities like Kayaking are exhilarating and an excellent form of exercise,” Councilman Imbroto added. “It can also be an ideal opportunity to share time and relax with friends and family.”
