Gordon Beggs Rotary Beach Pier Enhancements

𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐨𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐠𝐠𝐬 𝐑𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡! 

The pier at Gordon Beggs Rotary Beach was reconstructed and officially reopened to the public in July 2024. This like-for-like replacement was the first step in revitalizing this well-loved community space. 

Thanks to the leadership of the Rotary Club of Summerland and the generosity of community donors, we are now moving forward with the next phase of enhancements:
✅Five benches to sit and enjoy the spectacular views
✅Installation of a slide with support braces and a hand water pump
✅Addition of a ship’s ladder (stairs) and railing at the end of the pier
✅New electrical conduit and lighting down both sides of the pier
✅Five protective buoys around the end of the pier to safeguard swimmers from motorized watercraft

✅A lifesaving device installed at the end of the pier

These improvements will make the pier safer, more fun, and more accessible for everyone.

⚠️Please note: 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐛𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 taking place now and intermittently through to the end of November. Thank you for your understanding and patience. 

Stay tuned for updates—we can’t wait to see the community enjoying these new features!
