The grand opening of the park may be a good opportunity to show the community what the TKAA has to offer and to show our thanks to the city for providing a kayak launch area. If fellow members approve, I'll try to find out when the grand opening will occur and if the TKAA can assist. I had the chance to talk to the city manager and former mayor when banning kayaking at buckroe was on the city's agenda and from their actions they have supported kayaking . Let me know if this is something members would like to pursue.
