    Onondaga Lake Park Marina

    Liverpool, NY

    Leatherstocking Services completed marine construction improvements at the Onondaga Lake Park Marina for Onondaga County Parks. Our work included removing the existing dock system, assembling and installing new floating dock sections, and driving piles to secure the new docks in place.

    Roy McDonald Veterans Fishing Park

    Wilton, NY

    Leatherstocking Services was proud to complete the new public-access fishing platform for the Town of Wilton at what is now the Roy McDonald Veterans Fishing Park. Located along the Snook Kill and near a veterans housing facility, the accessible platform provides veterans and members of the community with a place to enjoy fishing and the outdoors. The park was named in honor of former New York State Senator and Wilton Supervisor Roy McDonald, a decorated U.S. Army Vietnam veteran.
