In a notable move, NYC Parks announced the indefinite closure of temporary docks at Flushing Bay's World's Fair Marina, affecting the longstanding dragon-boating community.
The temporary floating docks replaced Flushing Bay's deteriorated Pier 1, allowing nearly 20 dragon-boating clubs access to the waters for eight years.
NYC Parks cited safety concerns leading to the closure of the docks as public safety continued to be a priority following structural damage.
Judd Faulkner highlighted the department's commitment to providing alternatives, suggesting 36 other marinas while emphasizing ongoing collaboration with the boating community.
