Red Haw State Park was hit by a tornado in the spring of 2021. A few of the shelters were destroyed in this storm and this project will replace some of that lost infrastructure.

This project is for a new Parks Design Guide shelter and ADA parking at the nearest possible location with a short sidewalk to the shelter location.
This project consists of constructing a gravel parking lot and boat ramp with a PCC parking space and removing the existing CMP water control structure and installing a reinforced concrete water control structure and pipe.
