This Eagle Scout project develops a picnic and rest area near the Belmar trailhead of the Sandycreek Trail, near Franklin.

The project includes two picnic tables of pressure treated lumber, which will be cemented into the ground. Mulch will be placed under the tables to keep maintenance low. A fire ring will be near the tables.

The grant from the Trail Volunteer Fund provides lumber, hardware, mulch, and cement for the Scout to use in constructing the picnic area.

No worthy project with willing volunteers should founder for lack of tools or materials.

The Trail Volunteer Fund of The Pittsburgh Foundation celebrates the efforts of the volunteers who are developing multi-use bicycle and walking trails by providing tools and materials they need for projects that develop and maintain the network of multiuse trails in western Pennsylvania and surrounding areas.
