Anchorage Park Marina, a popular gathering spot for residents of North Palm, is about to get a much-needed makeover.

The park had a temporary sea wall that will finally be replaced, it'll get 16 new floating docks, a kayak launch and a new fillet table for anglers to prepare dinner when they return from being out on the water. The dog park is also getting redone and the fields are getting new sod. 

The renovations will begin now and the goal is to be done by October 1st. In the mean time, North Palm residents have access to two temporary boat slips from the marina. 

The makeover is being paid for by grants and village funds. The town is awaiting to see if they receive an additional grant which would allow them to build even more boat slips
