Progress on future boat dock

The boat dock will be here. The bank is being thickened to allow construction of the River Walk at the top of the bank.

Work along the river edge

Trail cleared

Over the weekend, I walked from Heritage Park to the weir and back. A lot had changed, and I took too many photos.

It looked like all the clearing had been completed. A temporary road has been built below the narrow portion of trail adjacent to Heritage park. The temporary road is right on the river. The temporary fence at the end of Grand has been removed, allowing construction to proceed all the way from Heritage Park to the Paluxy weir.

July 4th holiday weekend

Some clearing took place last week, but nothing seemed to call for a photo.

Construction begins!

Yellow warning tape and stakes with orange ribbon have popped up on the construction site.









The heavy equipment has arrived.

Constructions sites

Leaving the new parking, we can look east along Grand. This inconspicuous spot will be the river outlook. The turn in Grand Ave forces the River Walk to cross a narrow ledge between the Paluxy River and Grand Ave. As the River Walk heads down stream, part of the trail will be a board walk.















The future River Walk outlook

Near this location, there will be a boat dock.









The future Boat Dock

This is the end of Grand Ave. The River Walk through the opening on the left. Just on the other side we will construct the Fishing Spot, and connect to the Paluxy weir. From there, you can cross to Barnard St. and Big Rock Park.













Approaching the future Fishing Spot

New parking lot and Grand Ave Construction

The new parking lot on the east side of Heritage Park. We are looking north along Grand Ave. towards the Paluxy river. Once the boat dock and river outlook are completed, this will be a convenient place to park. As Grand Ave. approaches the Paluxy, it turns east, heading downstream along the Paluxy.
