Accessible Trail Construction
Project Profile: John
Dillon Park
Long Lake, New York
John Dillon Park "is designed
for people with disabilities to bring their friends, family, and caregivers
for an outdoor wilderness experience, through the installation of special
adaptive facilities blended into a natural environment."
Timber
& Stone, LLC has continually participated in the construction of the
trail system for this unique park. Accessible boardwalks, bridges, and sections
of trail tread were constructed in accordance with ADA guidelines.
Naturally winding boardwalks were constructed of cedar and featured a handsome protective rail.
Trails are surfaced
and graded to allow safe and enjoyable travel for hikers with disabilities. During
construction, trails were cleared and the surfacing was imported using machinery.
Grading was monitored closely to ensure compliance with ADA requirements.
