Document Description
The Metcalf Motorcycle County Park Site Plan Report proposes various improvements within the core-use area of the Park, including installation of a new visitor center, a vehicle wash, a restroom building, an unloading ramp, shade structures; construction of ADA improvements; creation of additional pathways; reconfiguration of parking areas; and improved connectivity between the main visitor area and OHV trails. Specifically, the project would include:
• Demolition of the existing administration building and construction of a new, 2,865-square-foot visitor center west of the main park entry and exit driveway, which would include staff offices, a break room, restrooms, showers, lockers, a mud room, a porch, first aid, and storage.
• Demolition of the existing restroom building and construction of a new restroom building in the southwest corner of the parking lot.
• Installation of one additional pedestrian shade shelter and a solar photovoltaic system shade structure along the perimeter of the parking lot and along the trail and pedestrian paths.
• Construction of a vehicle wash southwest of the visitor center for County Parks vehicles only
• Installation of a new trash enclosure at the southeast corner of the parking lot
• Installation of an unloading ramp at the northwest corner of the parking lot
• Reconfiguration of the parking area to improve vehicular circulation and meet ADA requirements
• Provision of pedestrian paths throughout the project site, including along the restroom building and visitor
center, to provide enhanced access to the proposed buildings, trail entries, and gazebo. Dirt paths that
separate pedestrians from OHV would provide access to the Beginner Oval and Novice motocross track.
• Installation of a new bioswale between the parking lot and the Beginner Oval to manage stormwater flows on the project site.
