"Paradise Creek Nature Park will provide the rare opportunity to enjoy arestored Elizabeth River - first-hand. This 40-acre, waterfront park will enhance quality of lifein Portsmouth while inspiring new generations of river stewards through two miles of trailsthrough the region's largest restored wetland, plus one-of-a-kind outdoor sculptures, educationstops, kayaking and more." - from paradisecreekpark.org The Gravelpave2 road will provide access to the 25 car Gravelpave2 parking lot with two ADA parking spaces. The Gravelpave2 road is also a convenient turn-around for dropping off and picking up visitors to the park and trail. Gravelpave2 was used to keep to keep polluted stormwater run-off from the parking lot and road from entering the fragile Elizabeth River - a Chesapeake Bay tributary. Gravelpave2 will filter automobile drips (hydrocarbons) and other pollutants and return the rainwater, cleaned, back into the ground water supply. The Elizabeth River Restoration Project is planning on using Grasspave2 as a porous parking lot on site, in phase 2 of the project. A special thank you goes to Andy Gerberich and GETSco, our partner in Virginia, for helping facilitate the use of Gravelpave2. They were instrumental in helping with designing the system, providing low-cost product, and with technical assistance in installation.

thank you
