Thank you for visiting Portwood Pier Plaza

You can help keep our waterfront safe and enjoyable for all by:

  • Keeping your dog on a leash at all times
  • Picking up your trash
  • Leaving the confetti, balloons and kites at home
  • Practicing your skating or skateboarding at a designated skate park instead
