The new East Ocean View (EOV) Community Center Pier, located behind the East Ocean View Community Center at 9520 20th Street, opened Friday, April 25 at 10 a.m. with an official ribbon cutting ceremony hosted by Mayor Paul D. Fraim, City Council Members and RPOS.

This new addition to East Ocean View will play host to anglers, boaters, community center patrons and many more!  Not only is the pier a grand fishing spot, but it will also benefit the community by being a base for water safety, boating and canoeing programs.

Made possible through a grant from the Recreational Fishing Advisory Board and funding from the City of Norfolk, the pier is dedicated to the late Bill Harbert.  As the former president of the Roosevelt Gardens Civil League and the original co-chair of the Ward 5 Partnership, Harbert played an instrumental role in having Petty Lake dredged.

Norfolk’s Department of Public Works coordinated the construction of the 2,840-square-foot pier with Flint Construction.  The pier extends 134 feet into the water from the shoreline and its horseshoe-shape design is user-friendly and handicapped-accessible.
