ADA-Accessible Boardwalk!

The Boardwalk is open!

Our brand new boardwalk  is accessible for anyone with limited mobility or using a wheelchair and is for foot travel only.   Therefore, bicycles are prohibited so that everyone can enjoy the boardwalk safely.  It is a great place for a quiet stroll into the trees, to enjoy nature, and to relax.

Governor Dick Park was awarded a $175,000 grant through DCNR for the construction of the accessible boardwalk which is located  just south of the Environmental Center. This grant is half  the cost of the walkway, and you are invited to partner with us in giving the gift of nature to those less mobile. You can sponsor a 4” x 8” memorial brick to be placed along the sidewalk leading to the start of the walkway. Memorial bricks may be  sponsored for $100. Mini souvenir bricks (1.5” x 3” x 0.5”) with felt backing are available for $20.   
 
Some bricks have been installed .  If you don't see your brick out there yet, we are waiting until we have good weather to put them in.
