Background and Discussion:

Liam Charles Sanderson would like to complete his Eagle Scout Service Project by restoring two existing fire pits and constructing a third within the Bear Creek Pioneers Park camping area. The existing fire pits will be cleaned and have missing bricks replaced where needed. The third, new fire pit will be 73 inches in diameter and 24 inches in height. The goal is to provide a safe, functional, and visually appealing space for visitors to responsibly enjoy campfires in the park.

 

Expected Impact:

The donated items will help Bear Creek Park by providing visitors with safer and cleaner designated spaces for building campfires. The two existing fire pits need repair, and adding a third will help accommodate more visitors while reducing the likelihood of unsafe or unauthorized fire sites.

 

 

 

Alternative Options:

Not approving this donation would result in a missed opportunity to restore and enhance fire pits at Bear Creek Pioneers Park.
