How the Joseph Ryder Lewis Park Came to Be-- Part 3: Part of a Master Plan

The site, which includes approximately 150 yards of Civil War earthworks, has been carefully cleared by a total of 26 volunteers working in excess of 450 hours.  An existing map delineating the site has been secured and an update on the wetlands is forthcoming.

The committee is now working with Erik Jelinsky, Carolina Beach Parks and Recreation Director, to provide a park site plan with trails and other park features as well as interpretive signage.  He is currently updating the Carolina Beach and Parks and Recreation Master Plan (20160-2021) and hopes to include  the project  for possible additional support.

Interest in  the proposed Joseph Ryder Lewis Jr.  Park is growing as the work progresses.
