Correction: This story has been updated to make clear that the Shawnee Mission Park Marina is reopening Wednesday. The original version erroneously stated that the marina was reopening Tuesday.

Greetings, dearest of dear readers! It’s Tuesday, July 11 here in Shawnee Mission.

☀️ Today’s forecast: Hot! Mostly clear skies with a high of 95. Stay safe!

🚨 One thing to know today

After seven months of work, the newly renovated Shawnee Mission Park Marina will open to the public Wednesday.

The marina, which features a new ticketing area as well as improved storage for life jackets and paddles, will offer daily hours through Aug. 13.

Following the end of the summer season, the marina will have weekend hours Saturdays and Sundays through Sept. 4.

Initial plans for the renovation project had projected an opening over Memorial Day weekend. However, inclement weather and supply chain issues delayed construction progress.

You can now make boat reservations online at JCPRD.com/marinas. All boat rentals will be for one hour.
