“Cal U. students to present park ideas at public workshop”

Posted on April 27, 2012

From the Observer-Reporter, April 27, 2012.

Ten teams of California University of Pennsylvania students will present projects designed to improve local parks and riverfront trails during a public workshop Saturday at the California borough building.

The presentation is part of a collaborative effort between Cal U.’s Parks and Recreation Management Program, led by Dr. John Confer, and the River Town Program, launched by the Pennsylvania Environmental Council in 2011.

The projects focus on enhancing Rotary Park, Mechanic Street Park, Szalay Park and the Project 70 lands, as well as connecting them with a looping riverfront trail. The presentations were created by 40 students and include plans for a variety of features such as a natural playground, amphitheater, overlook vista, wildlife blind, Frisbee golf course, climbing structure, modular skate park and nature, exercising and mountain bike trails.
