SRP TOWN LAKE MARINA

The 13-acre SRP Tempe Town Lake Marina provides the best access to the water at the boat launch and offers boat trailer parking, restrooms, grassy picnic areas, a sloped amphitheater, and rentable dry boat storage. The Marina is located on the north side of the lake just south of the 202 Freeway. To get there go south on College at Curry Road and follow the blue signs.

To make it easier to launch boats, a 5-lane boat launch ramp is available for public use. Before launching your boat you need to purchase a Town Lake boat permit.

Boat trailer parking spaces allow boaters to enjoy the day on the lake. Also available is secured dry boat storage for those who want to store a boat at the Marina, call (480) 350-8625 for more information. At the Marina you will also find a on-acre lagoon providing a safe harbor for lake operations in case of flooding. The half-circle lagoon provides wet slips to store boats that are permanently moored on Town Lake, including safety launches for rowing programs, Fire and Police boats, and Rio Lago Cruise vessels

The Marina is a gathering place for the boating community. A diverse group of boating groups such as the Arizona Yacht Club; Arizona Sailing Foundation, ASU Sailing Group, Arizona Dragon Boat Association, Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe Club, ASU Rowing Group, and City of Tempe Parks & Recreation Rowing have made the Marina their base. For additional information on these groups please call (480) 350-8034.

The Marina Water Muse is the artistic feature of the complex as well as an interactive circulation system. Water traveling through the system flows through a gauntlet of various channels, waterfalls, and weirs designed to evoke different visual and acoustic conditions. Up to 5 cubic feet of water per second can be pumped from the Town Lake through an underground pipe into the Muse, then back into the lake. Water emerges from underground into a quiet source pool located at the top of the amphitheater.
 

Railing panels filled with woven steel mesh are found along the rest stop. The images of cattail leaves and silhouettes of indigenous birds in flight are welded and cut into mesh panels. This rest stop overlooks the lake and marina lagoon.
