Efforts to restore the shoreline along Indian Creek Park in Eastpoint are nearly complete and county officials hope to hold a public dedication for the work by March.
The “Living Shoreline” project replaced an existing seawall at the site with natural shoreline features including 7,500 salt marsh grasses and upland salt tolerant native plants and trees.
Before Franklin County bought the property in 2008, it was used as an RV park and had seawalls along the bay front.
Restoration project chief Dan Tonsmeier said there are two small things left to be done – a rope barricade needs to be put up to keep people off the newly planted area and a kiosk with information about the area needs to be built at the site.
Both of those jobs will be done by county workers.
County officials say they will hold a dedication for the park in the next few months.
The park is open to the public.
If you have never visited it – it is at 93 North Bayshore Drive in Eastpoint right next to the Sportsman’s Lodge.
