CLEVELAND — The first publicly accessible boat docks on the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland will be unveiled this summer at Heritage Park and Rivergate Park.

The Cleveland Metroparks said it is using federal funding received through the Boating Infrastructures Grant to build six boat slips in Rivergate Park and 12 boat slips in Heritage Park.

"The new boat slips will be the only publicly accessible boat slips along the six-mile ship channel on the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland and offer new connections to parks and trails," according to the Metroparks.

Specifics regarding the cost of the project haven't been released.

Here's a look at what the boat dock at Heritage Park will look like:
