Liberty Park boat ramp to open additional days this holiday Weekend

Clarksville, TN – The Clarksville Parks & Recreation Department will open the Liberty Park boat ramp for an additional day this Fourth of July Weekend. The new, four-lane boat ramp and two boat docks will be open Friday, July 1th, through Monday, July 4th, from 7:00am to 8:00pm. However, because of Sunday’s Independence Day Celebration, the ramp will be open 7:00am to midnight to accommodate boaters.

Approximately 40 parking spots will be available for vehicles and boat trailers. Patrons will not be allowed to park on the surrounding grass areas. Clarksville Police officers will be onsite to assist with traffic control, parking and boating safety.

Clarksville Parks & Recreation would like to remind patrons that the Marina Basin, located near the boat ramp and docks, is a strict “No Wake Zone,” and all boating regulations must be observed. For more on boating regulations, please consult the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency’s website at www.tn.gov/twra/boatingregs.html.

The boat ramp and boat docks, which are normally open on Saturdays and Sundays, are the only portions of Liberty Park that are open to the public at this time. Citizens are asked to not enter the park except to use the boat ramps on weekends.
