Gun Club Park

Just outside of the New Lexington in Perry County sits the Gun Club Park property. This park has been in use for generations and provides significant outdoor space to the Appalachian Ohio region.


Through the HEART of Appalachian Ohio project Gun Club Park will be enhanced to make it more accommodating for visitors and a draw for people from within and outside the Appalachian Ohio region.


Through donations and public-private partnerships the Perry Soil and Water Conservation District has raised significant funds to improve the park and the Appalachian Community Grant will be able to make them realize their goals and dreams.


Funding will be utilized to install handicap accessible parking and a paved trail that leads to the pond in the center of the park. The old clubhouse will be converted into a large timber frame event center with office space. The old parking lot will be renovated and improved, and new restrooms will be added to serve visitors.


The grounds will be enhanced with large native pollinator and prairie fields that will be on the Appalachian Ohio Pollinator Trail as well as improve the ecology of the property. Visitors amenities such as small trails, benches, and signage will also be added.
