Recreation Study Urged for Sand Pit Park Plan
Muscatine County officials reviewed a 1966 study by Stanley Consultants proposing two Cedar River public use areas and a future sand pit park. The plan envisions 500 to 600 acres with water for swimming or fishing, plus picnicking, camping, and concessions, guarded beaches, and river access, to curb unsafe swimming and private land trespass while preserving a multiuse park potential.
