The red area is entirely public property, which is significantly larger than just the tidal water mark, it was deliberately set up that way back when the subdivision was first established. If you look at the aerial photo you can see just how much these landowners have encroached onto the public space with their own gardens, paths, sheds, gazebos, etc.
Growing up in Rothesay I first learned about the fact that all of the homes in the older part of K-Park don't own half their backyards and used to hang out/swim on them as a teenager sometimes. It definitely pissed off homeowners [in hindsight, I don't blame them for feeling that way] and almost none of them knew that they didn't own the space.
I always envisioned a public path running beside the water along the perimeter of the subdivision's peninsula, but I am sure the political will would never exist to allow it
