There are some improvements in the works for Hagar Park and Beach.

Hagar Township Supervisor Izzy DiMaggio tells us the board of trustees this week discussed adding some permanent restrooms to the attraction as it grows in popularity.

“We have two beaches in your township and we’re one of the few communities that have dog-friendly beaches,” DiMaggio said. “From Memorial Day to Labor Day, the park is jam-packed.”

To help make the beachgoing experience more comfortable for all of those visitors, DiMaggio says the township is enlisting Abonmarche.

“We hired Abonmarche Consultants to give us a preview of what it would look like if we want to put permanent restroom facilities in a storage building that we have on site that is underutilized.”

Right now, the beach has some porta potties. DiMaggio says Abonmarche will be paid a $7,500 consulting fee to study the feasibility of adding the new restrooms. If it’s found to be a good idea, the township will seek grants to pay for construction.

DiMaggio says a firm that uses cell phone ping data to estimate attendance at events has told the township about 45,000 people visited Hagar Park between Memorial Day and Labor Day this year.
