The Friends of Stone Park have been partnering with several local businesses and non-profit groups to build a new shelter in Pammel Valley. Construction began in late May and the shelter is expected to be ready for use by Labor Day.
L&L Builders helped the Friends build the shelter, without their expertise, this project could not have been possible. The Missouri River Historical Development (MRHD) helped finance the project, along with the Rotary Club, and an Iowa State Park Volunteer Support Grant. Friends members provided assistance with removing the old shelter and raising project funds.
The new shelter is more accessible to people of all abilities. Visitors can easily walk to the new shelter and carry their picnic supplies. We hope to add a large bbq grill, benches, and a sand volleyball court in the area of the new shelter.
