A popular beach in St. Catharines is set for an official re-opening today after a multimillion-dollar makeover.

Mat Siscoe and local members of provincial parliament will be at Sunset Beach on Lombardy Avenue at 9 a.m. to mark the moment.

A 2019 community vision study helped launch the project, with renovations starting in 2023.

The province pitched in $4.4 mil­lion towards the $6.9­ mil­lion venture. The remaining $1.6 mil­lion, just under 30 per cent of the total, came from the city of St. Catharines.

The renovations include an expan­ded park­ing area that can now accom­mod­ate 185 vehicles, boat ramps and improved land­scap­ing and access routes, includ­ing gardens and dunes, side­walks, stairs, fen­cing, new paved trails and a play­ground.
