This four-plus-acre park is located on the
Lake in downtown Tahoe City. Commons Beach Park is popular
for sunbathing, swimming and picnicking. Group picnic sites
and children's playgrounds are located within a large lakefront
grass and sand area.
After over 120 years of local and visitor
use, Commons Beach is being rehabilitated and enhanced to
accommodate environmental restoration, protection, and public
access. Commons has served many purposes for the community
from a transportation hub with shipping and train tracks,
to private commercial enterprises, to a local post office,
jail, firehouse, and finally a community park. Despite all
of these uses, comprehensive planning and restoration had
never occurred at this key site. In 1998 the TCPUD began working
with the community to develop a strategic plan that would
restore, protect and enhance this public park facility located
in the heart of Tahoe City.
Construction is scheduled to begin as early
as July 8, 2002 and be completed before July 1, 2003. Due
to the extensive nature of the project, the Park will be closed
to any public use during this time.
Several alternatives are available for public
recreation. Please see the list of other public facilities
available for beach access, playgrounds, and picnic sites
in the activity catalog. A facility map is also available
in the catalog and on the web for exact locations of these
facilities.
We thank you for your patience and look forward
to the reopening of the park in 2003.
