Park makeover brings lakefront bustle to Gastonia
Gastonia completed a 3.2 million overhaul of its 80 acre park last September adding a walking trail around the reservoir, new lakeside shelters, fishing permits and boat rentals. The renewed park draws heavy weekend use, prompting 37 overflow spaces and sparking noise concerns from skeet and trap ranges near the western shore. Dellinger favors Sunday evenings to ease conflicts while cohabitating with gun enthusiasts.
