Looking for a place to barbecue near Coeur d’Alene’s waterfront?
There are some brand-new grills at North Idaho College’s beach area ready for the public to use.
A total of 36 cooking grills are being replaced at the beach area, and the college’s landscape services crew has already replaced 18 of them.
The new grills are one of several improvements made by the college to the beach area in recent years.
“All of the upgrades have been made in an effort to improve conditions for the community that supports North Idaho College,” said Bill McElver, NIC Facilities Operations/Physical Plant manager.
The improvements include roadway lighting that has been updated to LED lighting for improved visibility; the dock and gangway have been replaced to improve safety; a new Outdoor Pursuits building has replaced an old red shack; a basalt stone wall has been placed at the bulkhead along the river to prevent erosion; new pumps have been placed at restrooms to improve reliability; and new roofing has been placed on beachside facilities.
Funding for the grills was awarded to NIC’s Landscape Services/Facilities Operations through a grant from the NIC Foundation.
