Sandpoint Beach along Riverside Drive in Windsor will stay closed to the public as the city advances its Master Plan for the area. The decision, announced on June 30, 2026, aims to prioritize safety and facilitate the phased development of the beach and surrounding amenities.
Master Plan Phases Underway
The City of Windsor is working on a comprehensive Master Plan that outlines the future of Sandpoint Beach. According to city officials, the closure will remain in effect until further notice to allow for necessary assessments and construction work. The plan includes upgrades to infrastructure, improved accessibility, and enhanced recreational features.
“We are committed to delivering a safe and revitalized beach experience for residents and visitors,” said a city spokesperson. “The Master Plan ensures that all improvements are coordinated and completed efficiently.”
Community Impact and Safety
The closure has affected local residents who frequented the beach during summer months. However, the city emphasizes that safety is the primary concern, as ongoing work poses potential hazards. Alternative recreational options are available at other city parks and waterfront areas.
The Master Plan is expected to be rolled out in multiple phases, with timelines for completion yet to be announced. The city encourages public feedback through upcoming consultation sessions.
