The County of Person is requesting proposals from Service Providers/Contractors regarding the Construction of ADA restrooms at the new Rotary Club of Roxboro Centennial Park. The Person County Recreation, Arts, and Parks Department is in the process of developing a 281-acre Outdoor Recreation Park along the Flat River with the main focus being on hiking, mountain biking, and nature watching. The Park System seeks to preserve the County “Farm” as greenspace while creating multi-use trails, ADA-accessible features, and a “Green” Wildlife Observation Park. Bordering the southeast region of Person County, the County “Farm” is located one mile from Durham County, covering 281 acres of planted timber and hardwoods along 1.5 miles of the Flat River. The Plan is to preserve the County “Farm” and to put the “Farm” to use in offsetting stormwater runoff and nutrient loads attributed to the County as required by State stormwater rules. The development of this County Farm to a Park will includes: 30+ miles of trails for hiking, walking, or mountain biking, a fully ADA-accessible walking trail/track section, wildlife observation areas, birding blinds and overlooks, interpretive and environmental education trails and components, picnic shelters, Access Road system, Parking Areas, ADA-accessible Restrooms, Storm Water Management Elements including BMP pond with environmental Education Components, Flat River Riparian Buffer and Shoreline Enhancement/Repair along park boundaries.
