Boaters Asked to Avoid Buckley Cove Use
STOCKTON - The Stockton Parks and Recreation Department
is asking area boaters to use Louis or Morelli Park boat launching
facilities instead of Buckley Cove boat ramps this summer due
to ongoing construction.
The Louis Park facility is located west of I-5 on Monte Diablo
Avenue . The Morelli Park boat launch area is located on Weber
Avenue, west of Lincoln under I-5.
Improvements at Buckley Cove are expected to begin in mid-June
and may continue through December. The construction window
has been dictated by the California Department of Fish and
Game in order to protect the spawning cycle of certain species
of native fish.
The Buckley Cove improvements are being funded by the California
Department of Boating and Waterways. Improvements will include
the demolition of the existing raised concrete gangways and
installation of new articulating floating docks like the most
easterly dock system installed several years ago; removal of
launching ramps and replacement with wider ramps; extending
the existing ornamental iron security fence to enclose the
entire parking lot; and re-striping and landscaping the parking
lot.
For more information about City of Stockton boat launching
facilities, contact the Stockton Parks and Recreation Department
