Millcreek Township is making accessibility its modus operandi this summer, with one major parks and recreation project set to begin and another pending.
Scott Park, a popular nominee in a number of our Best of Erie outdoor categories, is officially on the books for $120,000 worth of improvements. Of that money, $98,000 will go toward the construction of new pedestrian walkways and ADA-compliant spectator areas alongside its ballfields, contracted through Lindy Paving. The latter phases of the project, tabbed for completion in late summer, will add new bleachers and park benches after the new pavement is laid down. The majority of the funding was delivered through a $77,000 Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources grant.
