The Master Plan for Fort Smallwood and the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Park has been completed and approved by the planning committee. There will be a public hearing sometime in April (likely at Notheast High School) to hear public comments and input. The two parks are not connected but will be operated by a single crew of park rangers. Some highlights of the park plan include:
Fort Smallwood
- Two lane county boat ramp
- Updated facilities
- Hawk and bird watching platform
- Kiteboarding launching area
- Dog Beach
- Sixty foot tall flag
Weinberg Park:
- Nature observatory
- Group camping
- Canoe launching area
This a just a few of the added amenities. Check out the next link for a map of the combined park areas.
I hope to join a "Friends of Fort Smallwood" group should one form. Check out the Fort Smallwood Planning committee web site for complete details.
