About the Project

The Pillings Pond Foundation is working to build a new permanent public T-Dock fishing pier at Rotary Park on Summer Street. The pier will give children and adults who don't have waterfront access a safe, dedicated spot to fish, launch a line, or simply enjoy the pond.

The proposed design is a modular T-Dock by FWM Docks: a 4′ × 12′ ramp running out from shore to a 40′-long, 4′-wide fishing platform set parallel to the shoreline, giving plenty of room for anglers to spread out.
