Wood docks at Lake Springfield Marina

The new wood docks at the Lake Springfield Marina

The new docks are a lot higher than the other non-wood (plastic?) docks.
I'd like to see this area offer features to make it more handicapped and senior accessible.
Some folks need something to help steady themselves as they climb on and off a boat.
Let's make boating accessible to everyone who wants to enjoy the lake.

It does look like fine workmanship in updating the docks with wood.
These used to be similar to the rest of the docks in the area.
