Our community is deeply grateful for East Dock Park and for the volunteers many years ago who brought this beautiful space to fruition. Today, however, the park is in need of repair so it can continue to serve the next generation. 

The photos above show broken playground equipment. City crews have made temporary repairs so the playground can still be used; however, the equipment continues to deteriorate and is no longer safe for children.

Donations can be mailed to:
City of Bayfield
