E&LP supervised the placement of the Rosedale Spillway Bridge in Mercer Meadows[1] this month, and the addition will improve circulation, access, and erosion control on the Lawrence Hopewell Trail (LHT) in the Rosedale Lake area within the Rosedale Park District, one of five districts in the amazing 1,600-acre Mercer Meadows County Park.
E&LP has provided surveying, civil engineering, and landscape architecture services for the Mercer County Parks Commission for over a decade including assistance in envisioning and planning the master plan for Mercer Meadows, a complex of parcels creating an extensive network of both active and passive recreational elements while promoting environmental conservation and stewardship.
Learn more about the history of the park: “Through the land that is now the Rosedale Park District of Mercer Meadows, there were two creeks that flowed into the Stony Brook. In the 1950’s and 60’s, these creeks were dammed by the federal government to control the accumulation of sediments downstream in Carnegie Lake during heavy rains. The lakes and the surrounding farmland were acquired from the Blackwell and Farrington families by Mercer County in 1994 to be maintained as parkland. The Noah Hunt House, now part of the Mercer Meadows Farm History District, was part of this acquisition.”[2]
