Delaware County Conservation was able to complete two major improvement projects this past summer at Silver Lake Park in Delhi.
The first project was to remove the old circular picnic shelter and replacing it with a new 24 ft. x 35 ft. handicap accessible shelter house. Garlyn Glanz, Director for Delaware County Conservation, stated, “The old shelter was constructed in the 1970’s and was in need of replacement. The new shelter will accommodate around 50 people for family picnics or other group gatherings. The shelter has electric service and there are plans to have water available in the future.” The shelter is available for public use on a first come first serve basis or reservations for use can be made by calling the Delaware County Conservation office at 563-927-3410 after the first of each year.
