The Event on Sunday March 20th unveiled a plan for the use of the property located off of Park Ave. in Mercersburg.  The picture and overlays outlines a vision for the park, how many of the areas could fit in with an entrance off of Park Avenue.  The red line is the outline of the 100 year flood line, a place where we couldn't build certain parts of the plan like stormwater catchments or the skatepark.  Within those areas however we can build the off leash dog run, the play field and some other areas.  The dark red area near the parking lot is the community center.  Our thinking on the community center is it would have a basketball court, meeting rooms, bathrooms, and a kitchen/vending area for events.  The light area in the top left corner is a 10,000 sq.ft. skatepark.  All these areas including the parking, the fields, and buildings are able to be changed, and are used here as examples for how a park could look in this area.  As we progress we welcome your input into  making this park something for everyone in the town.  Help us make this a possibility by joining our group, donating resources, and providing feedback.  100% of our board has invested in this park.
