                                                           July 1993





              Introduction


              Peirce Island is a 27-acre city-owned island which separates the deep channel of the Piscataqua
              River and the City's historic "South End". The Island, connected to the mainland by a 60-foot
              fixed bridge, is located within easy walking distance from downtown Portsmouth. The 3-acre
              Peirce Island Park project site is located adjacent to the handicapped accessible municipal pool,
              municipal boat launch, Four Tree Island picnic area, and state fish pier. The park has 2,000 feet
              of shoreline on Peirce Island.


              Peirce Island was identified repeatedly in local planning documents as underutilized and in need of
              revitalization. The development of the Peirce Island Park was intended to tap the educational
              and recreational potential of this unique waterfront environment by enhancing the natural
              amenities of the area and making it a destination point for children and families. An important
              theme in revitalizing this area was to develop a recreational facility that served the needs of
              disabled as well as able-bodied children and adults.








               The specific goals of the Peirce Island Park project were:

               0 to enable the entire community, including individuals with disabilities and their non-disabled
                  peers, to benefit from the recreational opportunities offered;

               *  to revitalize and create an awareness of public open space through redesign into an inviting
                  and exciting park to be used year round by all members of the community; and

               *  to promote art within the community.


               In an effort to address these goals, the Portsmouth Planning and Community Development
               Department sought, and received grant funds from, a variety of federal, state, and private sources
               to create a handicapped accessible park and playground on the 3-acre Peirce Island site. These
               efforts included a proposal to the N.H. Coastal Program for a $20,000 grant.


               The Peirce Island Park project involved the construction of a handicapped accessible stonedust
               walking path and 21 -space gravel parking area and tumaround; installation of two interpretive
               signs; removal of overhead utility lines; construction of erosion control measures; general site
               clean-up and loaming and seeding; and purchase and installation of handicapped accessible play
               equipment. With the exception of the play equipment installation, the park was constructed by
               CS S I, Inc. under a contract with the City of Portsmouth.



               Use of N.H. Coastal Program Funds


               The N.H. Coastal Program's grant of $20,000 was used to construct approximately 1,000 linear
               feet of stonedust walking path, two waterfront interpretive signs, and a portion of the waterfront
               rip rap, and miscellaneous mileage and xeroxing. The stonedust walking path leads from the
               gravel parking area around the perimeter of a scenic waterfront point of land with two interpretive
               signs, "Life in the Cove" and "Portsmouth Naval Shipyard". The rip rap around the point was
               necessary for the integrity of the trail in this location in order to prevent further shoreline erosion.


               Matching funds for this project consist of $8,000 of contributed engineering services by
               Appledore Engineering, Inc., a $ 10,000 cash match from the Foundation for Seacoast Health, and
               a $ 10,000 cash match from the Greater Piscataqua Community Foundation.

                                            Phase I of the Peirce Island Arts in the          Parks Project
                                                      Slated for Construction June 7, 1993

                         Residents and visitors to Peirce Island will soon have  a new park at which to relax and enjoy the 
			waterfront or to bring children to play on the new handicapped assessible play structure. Phase I of the 
			Peirce Island Park Project will kick off the week of June 7, 1993. A contract to construct the initial
			elements of the park was awarded to CSSI. Inc. of Memmack, NH on June 2, 1993. This will include
			general site work layout and construction of a handicapped accessible strolling path along the perimeter
			of the park. Installiation of 350 linear feet of stone rip rap along the waterfront construction of a gravel
			turn-around\drop off area and a gravel 23 space parking area. The gravel parking and turn-around area
			will be upgraded in the next phase to include granite curbing, a six foot wide concrete sidewalk and 
			bituminous paving.
                         
				The new 34 event play structure purchased from Landscape Structures, Inc. will be installed the
			week of June 14, 1993 with the help of members of the submarine crew from the USS Augusta and
			Access to Ful, INC. of springfield, MA. Currently, there are no municipal playgrounds in Portsmouth
			or the surrounding areas which have equipment that is accessible to children with disabilities
			Portsmouth is excited to offer a park designed to enable the entire community, including individuals
			with disabilities and their non-disabled peers, to benefit from the recreational opportunities offered.
                         
                         Appledore Engineering, Inc. of Newmarket, NH donated its services for construction drawings,
                preparation of bid documents and construction oversight. According to Gregg Mikolaities, a principal
                in the firm, the reason for the donation is because it is a community-based project which they strongly
                believe deserves support of local businesses. Planner Cindy Hayden stated that "without the services of
                Appledore Engineering,  the project could not have gone forward, They have devoted a great deal of
                time and energy to help us make this park a reality."

                         The impetus for the Arts-in-the-Park project came from the Papoutsy Arts Venture
                Fund of the Greater Piscataqua Community Foundation. The Arts in the Park project targets significant
                parks in the City for revitalization efforts which highlight the centural and  natural resources of the park
                area, and place them within a handicapped accessible. artistic  A design competition was held
                during the spring of 1992 and the winning design was approved bv the City Council on June 22, 1992.
                The design team which won the competition is composed of Kelly Davis, Architect; Flynn Donovan,
                Artist: Etoile Holzaepfel, Landscape Architect. Maureen Reardon. Sculptor.

                         Fundraising for the park consists of several grants totaling $95,000. Grant sources include the
                Portsmouth Rehab Center Fund and the Helen Kelly Trust of teh Greater Piscataqua Community
                Foundation. the Foundation for Seacoast Health, the Office of State Planning Land and Water
                Conservation Fund. the NH Coastal Zone Program. Community Development Block Grant, and a Small
                Business Association Tree Planting Grant (pending), The $5000 gant from the Papoutsy Arts Venture
                Fund of the Greater Piscataqua Community Foundation has been the catalyst for leveraging these grants.
                R.P. Millette and Assoc. donated a site survey.

                         Implementation of the balance of the park design will require further fund raising. Included in
                the elements still left to complete are installation of the artistic elements in the park such as a granite
                grist stone inlaid with metal forms, a stone arch, a 60 foot long wooden footbridge and a placement of
		    granite "walls". Other park amenities such as picnic tables, benches, landscaping, signage, and a small
                stage are slated for installation as funding permits. Anyone interested in fund raising for the park
                should contact the City Planning Department.
