public dock
Shared waterfront platform
A public dock is a pier or platform at the water's edge available for general use, typically maintained by a municipality or government agency.
Boats can tie up temporarily for loading, unloading, or short stays without needing a private slip or marina membership: We launched the kayaks from the public dock.
Public docks often appear at lakes, rivers, and harbors where recreational boating is common.
