Susquehanna Heritage Park Master Plan
Public Input Meeting



When: Wedensday, October 3rd, 2012
Where: Lower Windsor Township Building
2425 Craley Road, Wrightsville, PA 17368
Time: 7:00 pm




You are invited to attend the second of four public input meetings to provide input on a master site plan for the Susquehanna Heritage Park.


The goal of the master site plan is to determine the best use for the county-owned Heritage Parks including the Highpoint Scenic Vista & Recreation Area and Native Lands County Park. The study will include a look at whether, and how, the parkland can/should function in conjunction with several other features of the area.


The other properties include:

 
  • The Zimmerman Center for Heritage, owned by the Susquehanna Gateway Heritage Area
  • Klines Run Park, owned by the Safe Harbor Water Power Corporation
  • Wilton Meadows Nature Preserve, owned by the Lancaster County Conservancy
 

Taking into consideration input received from the first public meeting, we will present and receive feedback on our concepts (thoughts and ideas) for the park, showing various alternatives for potential physical improvements within the park.  We will also discuss and receive feedback on our thoughts and proposals for various interpretive themes that will foster intellectual and emotional connections between the interests of visitors to the park and the park's inherent resources.


There are no immediate plans to make any changes or improvements to the park. The goal is to develop a framework of recommendations for making such decisions.


This project is being funded in part with a grant from the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Pashek Associates, Landscape Architects and Community Planners, of Pittsburgh are leading the master planning process, in conjunction with team members from AlbertinVernon Architecture, Loganton, PA, and Battaglia Jones Landscape Architects, Bellefonte, PA.


Please join us on October 3rd to share your thoughts, ideas, and vision for the future of the Susquehanna Heritage Park.


If you are unable to attend this meeting, please provide us with your input by posting your comments, thoughts, and ideas here.
