The Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs will receive $1.19 million under a Project Grant award from the Department of the Interior National Park Service National Office's Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning program (CFDA 15.916). The funds will support improvements to Lawrence Heritage State Park in Lawrence, MA, including demolishing an existing non-compliant playground and constructing a new fully accessible playground with water spray features. The award will also renovate the park's bandstand gazebo to make it accessible with additions like a land bridge and retaining wall. Additional site work will include preparation, accessible routes, utilities, landscaping, and planting 20 trees. The project aims to create an accessible destination for play and community that considers principles of universal design.
