Develop the Stanford Parking Area
Cuyahoga Valley National Park » Develop the Stanford Parking Area » Document List
The National Park Service (NPS) is partnering with the Conservancy for Cuyahoga Valley National Park to construct a new parking lot to support equestrian and pedestrian visitors to the park at a site on Stanford Road near the Stanford House in the Village of Peninsula, Summit County, Ohio. The purpose of the proposed parking lot is to provide alternative parking for visitors outside of but near the Boston Mills area. The proposed lot would provide designated parking for approximately 15 horse trailers and 40 cars, including two spaces designated for handicapped accessibility.
The proposed facility will impact 0.73 acre (permanently impact 0.366 acre and temporarily impact 0.365 acre) of low-quality wetlands in the project area that are dominated by non-native, invasive species. To offset these impacts, the NPS will improve the function and value of 15 acres of degraded wetlands adjacent to the project site by transitioning the area to a wetland that supports a diverse assemblage of native plants.
