“Crew clubs approached the city about finding a site where they could access Broad Bay. The Virginia Beach Department of Parks and Recreation partnered with First Landing State Park to build a facility on park property.”

“It’s going to be a nice addition,” he said, adding that recreational boaters can tie up to the floating dock and pick up or drop off passengers at the parking lot or use the restrooms. People who have smaller boats such as kayaks and canoes will be able to carry them to the floating dock and launch. Trailer-mounted boats will still use the ramps.

The 2,888-acre state park offers hiking and biking trails, beach access, camping and more. About 1.5 million people visit each year.

To help pay for trash bags and other supplies, T-shirts were sold. Everything the volunteers brought to designated zones was hauled away by city sanitation departments.

“There was a lot of big stuff out there that first year,” Pahno said of Pleasure House Point, where he has volunteered for all 25 events. In addition to cans, bottles and cigarette butts, there were appliances, construction debris and tires.
