DNREC’s Div. of Parks & Rec. announces major parking lot renovation at Holts Landing State Park starting mid-April

MILLVILLE – DNREC’s Division of Parks & Recreation has announced that parking lot renovation and road construction upgrades will begin at Holts Landing State Park in mid-April. The project includes new paving to the main parking lot and creation of a “roundabout” traffic circle, to aid boaters.

During the construction period, expected to last until late spring, delays or restrictions on vehicles and boat trailers will be necessary. In addition, boat ramp activity could be temporarily delayed on some construction days. Notices of restrictions will be available via www.destateparks.com. The park will remain open to walkers and cyclists, and visitors can still access other areas of the park during the construction period.

Funding for the project was provided in part by Community Transportation Funds from State Senator Gerald Hocker and State Representative Ron Gray.

The Delaware Seashore State Park Regional Office manages Holts Landing State Park. For more information, contact Park Superintendent Doug Long at 302-227-2800 or visit www.destateparks.com for restriction updates and project progress.
