The Oregon State Marine Board is considering a third design for new parking and boat launch facilities at Lincoln County’s Don Lindly Park in Tidewater. The marine board and county officials will gather public input on the latest redesign — necessary because of wetland encroachment — during meetings this and next week.

WALDPORT — The Lincoln County Parks Department and Oregon Marine Board are holding an online meeting at 4 p.m. Thursday to discuss the future of Don Lindly Park along the lower Alsea River.

An in-person meeting scheduled last week was postponed because of the snow storm and is now scheduled for 4 p.m. Thursday, March 16 at Central Oregon Coast Fire and Rescue’s station in Waldport.

County parks and the Oregon State Marine Board are seeking comments on a redesign for a boat launch and parking lot planned for the largely undeveloped park along the Alsea River at milepost 7 on Oregon Highway 34. The county can’t get permits for the most recent design because the proposed parking lot would encroach on mature wetlands.
