Hello and Welcome, - This is not a safe location. - Even for staff it would not be safe place for them to be playing games. - It has wheels so it is temporary? - The pin is actually placed in the water. The only criteria you could argue would be to explore by watching the lift at work but would expect that you would need to do this at a distance. ---

> [@SlimboyFat71](#): > > It has wheels so it is temporary? This isn’t quite correct, as the submission is for the boat launching strip plus the machine. The haul-out strip is permanent. Although I think it’s interesting, it does feel unsafe, as you clearly cannot stand on the haul-out strip at various times (and probably shouldn’t hang out there playing games at any time). ---

I agree (as usual) but was being pedantically precise (in my head) 😉 ---

Yeah, let’s go back to why other boat launch sites are often eligible. Often, those are launch sites for personal warer craft like kayaks or canoes. So they can be seen as a “trail marker” of sorts to start the exercise someone will get while paddling and exploring. Also, often, when you launch a small boat, it will be just for a single day’s activity of fishing or exploring. The launch we are looking at here is more “infrastructure” in my opinion because when you launch a boat of this size, you’re going to keep it in the water for a whole season or maybe for the life of the boat. This kind of boat isn’t necessarily encouraging exercise. ---

To elaborate on this, the municipality in my area has official park designation signs to mark the entrance to these “recreational” boat launches. I have never found a case where the sign is in an unsafe area. All of these are for canoes and kayaks primarily. Two examples from my community in official parks with the signage. I know we also have boat launches in parks with no signs and I am hesitant to nominate those if there’s no official signage because placing a pin on could be deemed unsafe or placing the pin around the boat launch could be confusing or come across as the optics of abuse. The park signs in these cases are a great pillar to show these are publicly domain. ![IMG_7676](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wayfarer/original/3X/9/a/9ad8baf42529381108662d9393426ce27c3b1e04.jpeg) ![IMG_7675](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wayfarer/original/3X/a/1/a1c1ae7d3f8082524fdb9e99d5080bb478f44704.jpeg)
