Future Glendale Dock and Parking Improvements

TiltonBB · 04-29-2026, 06:38 AM

The Selectmen approved $12,000 for a permit application to replace and expand the three docks, “if possible. They are also planning on parking lot drainage improvements and paving.

From the Laconia Sun:

Town Administrator Scott Dunn said the CIP targeted a $1 million bond in 2030, to replace all three docks. He thinks $22,000 would be money well spent on the docks. He said his goal would be to replicate what Marine Patrol did with their docks: a complete rebuild.

The Marine Patrol's huge dock system, built in 2015, is a floating dock system so it's always level with the lake. It looks to be a huge aluminum frame with a grey synthetic composite walking deck on top. It's got docking for about twenty four M.P. 27' police boats plus their larger ocean cruiser. Stays in place all year 'round and has ice eater propellers for winter ice.

Maybe the Town of Gilford can build the same floating system there as opposed to a concrete stationary dock?

Maybe a small area on the shoreline with a tree and a couple bushes to add some greenery can be created close to the docks to make that black asphalt public area better natured ...... one pine tree and two bushes.
