Lynch's Woods Public Meeting Notice

Thursday, February 2, 2023 - 6:00pm to 7:00pm

 

Newberry County plans to submit a grant application to the Recreational Trails Program through the South Carolina Department of Parks and Recreation, deadline February 10, 2023.  The proposed project at Lynch’s Woods Park  will consist of improved parking in a dedicated and secure space, adding a bicycle rental program/space that includes a bicycle repair station and changing station, installing trail counters, cameras, and a pass only gate as a motorized access barrier, construction of a new section of trail that complies with ADA standards, upgrades to existing trails (including bridge repairs for hiking and biking purposes), as well as providing more leisure space with benches and picnic tables (some covered) throughout the park. These enhancements are intended to decrease vehicular traffic and increase foot and bicycle traffic while providing a way to gather visitor data and enhance the overall safety and experience of park guests.

Newberry County will hold a public meeting to receive comments on the proposed project on February 2, 2023 at 6:00 PM, in County Council Chambers at the Newberry County Annex, 1309 College St., Newberry, SC.  Questions concerning this public meeting should be directed to Jessie Long, Newberry County Director of Parks and Recreation at P: 803-924-8328 or E: recreation@newberrycounty.net.
