Do you take out-of-town visitors to Tempe Town Lake or Rio Salado Park? Yes
What would cause you to take out-of-town visitors more often? I like to invite visiting friends and family to try some of the watersports like Dragon Boat or Outrigger Canoe on the lake.
Is there anything that currently interferes with your enjoyment of the park? The Marina parking lot is too small for the amount of people using it. Also the Marina boat storage really needs to be expanded, my team the Phoenix Heat Canoe Club has 35+ Outrigger canoes and more coming each week with new members joining. The other teams are also adding outrigger canoes to their racks. The storage area is running out of space for additional boats and the dock to launch gets really congested.

Do you have additional input or suggestions for the project area? As Tempe's watersports teams like Dragon Boat keep increasing in popularity I think expanding Boat Storage, docks, parking, and access to the water will really help draw people to the lake. Every Practice curious people on the south shore or the Mill and Rural bridges will shout out questions about Dragon Boat or Outrigger Canoe when they see us on the water.

Is there anything that currently interferes with your enjoyment of the park? Yes, lack of storage for our group to grow, we currently have around 75 members and can't grow due to the lack of boat storage. The current boat storage facility is a capacity. The wait list for a spot as per the City of Tempe Marina official can be 5-10 years depending of the size of the boat. In the case of an Outrigger or Dragon Boat, could be 10 years.

Simple fencing and a gate with keycard to open like the one that we already use, but need to double that capacity. The current facility is the one located to the East of the Marina. Focus on serving a larger community of paddlers that promote the actual usage of the lake with recreational and competitive paddling. The need is immediate.
