Golden Marine Systems Enhances Venetian Gardens: A Triumph in Waterfront Revitalization

Golden Marine Systems played a pivotal role in the ambitious waterfront revitalization project undertaken by The City of Leesburg, Florida. The project, situated on the serene Venetian Gardens along Lake Harris, aimed to expand public boating access and enhance recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike. Golden Marine Systems provided a combination of fixed and floating docks, each meticulously crafted to offer durability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. For the fixed dock component, Golden supplied 980 square feet of its 9 Series Aluminum Dock System, which included safety handrails. This system, designed for wider piling spacing compared to traditional wooden structures, not only offered cost savings to the city but also enhanced the visual appeal from both the shore and the water. Manufactured to stringent ISO 9001:2015 standards using marine-grade aluminum and stainless steel fittings, these docks boast a remarkable lifespan of over 35 years, backed by a 10-year limited warranty. Complementing the fixed docks, Golden’s 850 Series Aluminum Dock System was employed for the floating dock section. Known for its stability and premium build quality, this system featured adjustable pile guides, cleats, main docks, finger piers with power pedestals, water service, and a fire suppression solution. The inclusion of WearDeck Composite decking further ensured low maintenance requirements while maintaining the aesthetic charm of real wood.
The installation of these docks, carried out by Kelly Brothers, Inc. of Fort Myers, Florida, was met with praise from John Folker, the project manager for the City of Leesburg. He highlighted the importance of the revitalized waterfront in accommodating various events, including bass fishing tournaments, and connecting to popular destinations within Lake Harris and its surrounding lakes. Supported by grant funding from Lake County and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the Venetian Gardens renewal project encompasses not only the docks but also features such as the Ski Beach Grill & Bar, extensive landscaping, walking trails, and access to nearby event venues like Rogers Park and Pat Thomas Stadium. Overall, the project stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts aimed at enhancing community spaces and promoting recreational activities in the region.
