Wilkeson Pointe will be closed for 2024 due to construction on the waterfront and will be re-opening in 2025! The entrance will be renovated to provide a better visitor arrival and experience.
Great.. the only decent place to go at the Outer Harbor and now they are spending $12 Million dollars to do the following…hope it is great.
Plans includes further visitor safety measures, such as moving parking away from the water and at a distance from the site’s pedestrian trail. A new food service building will also include restrooms and storage for the operations management team, and a new outdoor seating area either on the patio or within a beach setting. The new design calls for the site’s existing trails to be relocated and elevated near the water’s edge. All new utilities will be brought to the new building and site through the adjacent site from Fuhrmann Boulevard. The landscaping within the site will be improved with the planting of natural species, creating meadows, grasslands and pollinator fields.
