Protect Our Parks

Below is an image of the area that is proposed for development.

Some artist sketches of the structures considered for the Cairns Crescent development

In 2007 The Niagara Parks Commission decided that operating the Miller’s Creek Marina was unprofitable and leased the marina to a private operator.

Future Plans for the marina are uncertain at the moment but plans for both the Marina and the Cairns Crescent Seem to be on their way.

It could be the beginning to severing the Niagara Parkway and allowing commercial development along the Niagara River.

Located 8 km (5 mi) north of the Peace Bridge that connects Buffalo, N.Y. and Fort Erie, Ontario, on the scenic Niagara Parkway, the Miller’s Creek Marina is easily accessible by water and land routes.The Marina was a former shipyard owned by the Canadian Ship Building Company since 1903. The Niagara Parks Commission purchased the property in 1957 and in 1965 the Commission decided to test public demand for a Marina and installed a timber dock on the south side. By 1968, the boat docking facilities had become so popular that a seawall, gas pump and berths for 54 boats were installed. In 1975, 50 additional slips were added, bringing the total to 135 slips.  In April 2007, a private company began managing this facility.

This is the only public Marina on the Canadian side of the Niagara River.  Located on the beautiful Niagara Parkway between Fort Erie and Niagara Falls, the Marina is on the Niagara River Recreation Trail close to Legends on the Niagara Golf Complex and a short drive to the Falls.
