Awards Presentation
This year’s High School Design Competition project was a structure that combined all the necessary interests for Cullen Park into one unified building for the community. This site has proven to be an asset not only to the local residents in providing walking and shoreline activities, but also for those out of town enthusiasts that need access to the lake front. Space was also needed at the entrance of the building to allow patrons to pay for boat launching as well as pick up last minute items such as bait and licenses. The exterior of the building was also designed to accommodate the needs of maintenance and site improvement storage during the winter months when the site may not be utilized as much. Finally, the building was to react and enhance the adjacent waterfront, compliment the existing site amenities, and be functional for both pedestrian and motor vehicle access.
Visions of Cullen Park is a community Point Place group that is working on creating a revitalization effort to create the only deepwater access for 20 miles of shoreline around the Toledo area. The goal of the group is to create a destination in which efforts have already begun by dredging the waters around the ramps and docks to allow boaters to be five minutes from their trailers to some of the best walleye fishing in Lake Erie. Other groups of interest to the park include family-style canoe, kayak, and rowing-shell organizations to help promote hand-powered water sports. Finally the park also includes a vast variety of migratory bird watching out into the bay.
