Don't, I repeat DON'T stay the here. We tied up mid afternoon and fell in love with the park, fountain and the show. Very clean and nice area. About 1:00 am we heard commotion outside. Had a group of 4 thugs that kept growing to more than a dozen, running back and forth screaming that we were scared, and they were right, we
we're. Finally we called the police and while on the phone with them, one jumped on the side of the boat trying to climb up on the flybridge. I headed up on the bridge with the flare gun and informed them police were on the way. The guy jumped off but then returned. After about 45 minutes, someone flashed their lights and yelled "let's go!" and they all left. We untied and left as well. I don't think the police ever showed up and never called back to check on us.

Good sturdy floating dock in the heart of downtown. No amenities or restroom, but close to everything!! Beautiful lights at night and very cool fountain in the park you can see from the dock. This dock appeared to be in the best condition compared to some of the other local free docks which were under construction and or in construction areas which made access to land etc difficult. Water taxi takes up about 1/3 of this dock and is in and out till about 11, but didn't cause much disruption. Only room for about 3 boats here.

Easy to pull up alongside. Ferries ran at other end of dock until about 11pm, then quiet. People walking and jogging nearby 24/7, but safe, sturdy cement dock with great cleats and a good hand railing separates sidewalks from dock which means people are less able to walk up on your boat at night.
