City's Sabin Point Park Gets New Dock

The city has been revitalizing its' waterfront park in Riverside's Sabin Point area. Beautiful landscaping and a child's playground along with improved facilities for fishing and boat launching have bringing residents and non-residents in big numbers to enjoy the large park. East Providence received a Department of Environmental grant to install a brand new floating dock at the Sabin Point pier. City council members Tom Rose, Ward3 and Tracy Capobianco, at-large, were instrumental in pushing for project funding. "It's a great effort for a part of our city that has been lacking attention. It's amazing that it took us some two years of work to get this funding done," said Rose. "This is a beautiful area and I hope people continue to enjoy the natural resources here. I applaud everyone involved including our city employees who constructed the dock and made this happen," said Capobianco.
