There is an really nice day use park on the east side that is so under utilized that it is sad. They are actually changing from wooden piers to aluminum now. You can reserve pavilions, there are bath houses, even an amphitheater that I don't think has ever been used. Pleasure point started out as recreation and I think is still catagorized as recreation. DARE PARK was built in '97 after the last relicensing because there wasn't enough recreation on the east side so FERC required a public park be built. FERC is who determines how much recreation area is required, not APCO or Russell. I don't see Russell ever pushing for more recreation, much less paying for it. The property adjacent to DARE is switching to public use with the new license so I anticipate more recreational space there in the coming years. The new piers could be the start of something but I haven't heard anything about it, but haven't inquired about it either.
