Stone Mill Spring Recreation Area and Disabled Angler Access Project

The proposal for this project encompasses the construction of a 12' x 7' handicapped accessible fishing pier, development of a parking area for disabled users, wheelchair accessible modification of the ramp leading to the restroom, and the replacement of table tops and seats for three picnic tables to accommodate persons seated in a wheelchair, and the construction/placement of six receptacle refuse holders. The need for this project was identified by disabled angers at Stone Mills Spring Recreation Area. Previous accessible improvements to the area included installation fo an accessible vault toilet. However, the recreational area is difficult to access by people with disabilities due to the sloping banks surrounding the stream and limited parking space for disabled users. The additions proposed in this project would increase access and safety to disabled persons and persons of limited mobility. The project will also provide greater appeal to families to utilize the recreational opportunities that the area provides.
