Iowa state parks face aging structures and limited accessibility
Lake Macbride, Pleasant Creek, Palisades Kepler and others show rotten beams, missing gutters, and damaged or inaccessible facilities. Downgrades and safety hazards persist as ADA upgrades are debated, with estimated $130,000 to replace two Palisades latrines and broader retrofit needs across parks. Rep Zahner laments funding shortfalls.
