WE'VE DONE IT!
Access Ada Hayden Updates:
24 August 2022: It's in, and operational! (see Access Ada Hayden Facebook Post and photo) And the City has invited the community to a Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony to be held at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, September 21st.
Many thanks to our donors and to the Access Ada Hayden Partners (Friends of Ada Hayden Heritage Park, JAX and the Outdoor Alliance of Story County). Together we raised over $31,000 in donations (including $2680 from the GoFundMe campaign and $3430 in raffle proceeds) plus $12,000 in grants!
The dock and launch can be used in a variety of ways depending on the abilities of each user. Everyone will appreciate that their boat is held rock-solid stable as they enter and exit, and if they intend to use the boat slide (to drag their boat to the launch point), they'll need to bring a short length of rope.
We're very much looking forward to seeing some new faces on the lake, so thank you again and please help spread the word!
June 2022: The dock has been ordered, constructed and is ready for delivery. Unfortunately contractor availability has delayed preparations for the installation.
31 May 2021: Congratulations to Steve Pecenka of Ames! Steve's name was drawn for the canoe and he stopped by as we celebrated reaching and exceeding our $35,000 goal! Thank you all for your support, and thanks to JAX for their help in making the raffle and fundraiser a great success!
