Causer Announces Grant for Callahan Park
Nov. 12, 2024
BRADFORD - The city of Bradford has been awarded a $300,000 state grant for rehabilitation of Callahan Park, Rep. Martin Causer (R-Cameron/McKean/Potter) announced today.
"This park is such an asset to our nearby schools and child care centers, but it really provides recreational opportunities for people of all ages," Causer said. "I am pleased to see this significant investment into one of our local parks."
Improvements to be funded through the grant include renovation of a comfort station and pavilion; construction of a pedestrian walkway and parking area; and ADA access, landscaping, project sign and other related site improvements.
Callahan Park is an approximately 28-acre park within walking distance of the Bradford Area High School, School Street Elementary School and the Bradford Regional Medical Center. Park amenities include an indoor ice rink, two pools and a pool house, a splash park, a playground, three basketball courts, four tennis courts (which include pickleball courts), and three baseball fields. There are two pavilions within the park that can be rented for celebrations or special events.
The grant was awarded through the Community Conservation Partnerships Program, which is administered by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and supported by a variety of state and federal funding sources.
