Moores Station Quarry & Dam Site 21 Park Plans

Moores Station Quarry Park Plan
In 1998 the Moores Station Quarry property in Hopewell was acquired by Mercer County along with more than 1,000 acres of land at Baldpate Mountain to create a park. Mining operations will cease at the Quarry in the spring of 2023, when a 25-year agreement with the quarry operator will expire. In preparation for this upcoming transition, the Mercer County Park Commission is undertaking a public planning effort to develop a park master plan for the site. |

Dam Site 21 Park Plan
In the late 1970s, Mercer County purchased flood-prone land along Miry Run in order to build a park and one of several dams as part of a flood mitigation initiative known as the Assunpink Creek Watershed Water Works Plan. The dam was constructed in the mid-1980s, and created a lake of almost 50 acres. Since then the 279-acre dam site has become a popular place for neighbors to walk, fish, enjoy nature, and sled in the winter, but few beyond the neighborhood know of this largely hidden natural area.
After a year-long planning process, the Mercer County Park Commission is set to announce its plan to restore the park’s natural areas and to create new passive recreation opportunities for the public’s enjoyment.
