Through a $246,000 state grant secured by Bucks County Parks and Recreation, a new boat launch will be constructed at Hal H. Clark Park to improve river access for water-based activities and, most importantly, to provide emergency services personnel more timely access.

The project aligns with state, county, and local goals with support from the Bucks County Commissioners, Solebury Township, State Sen. Steve Santarsiero and State Rep. Tim Brennan.
