Arizona State Parks Grants Feature

Meer’s Point State Lake Improvement Fund Project
Meer’s Point is a public recreation site within the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Imperial National Wildlife Refuge, approximately 10 miles north of Fisher’s Landing, Martinez Lake, 40 miles north of the City of Yuma. Meer’s Point offers a quiet, scenic setting for water recreationers. In November 1999, Yuma County received a State Lake Improvement Fund grant from the Arizona State Parks Board for $440,880.00 for the renovation of the project site.
	Before the renovation, Meer’s Point structures were in a deteriorated condition and they were not ADA accessible. The picnic shade structures and restroom were not being used due to the physical condition they were in. As a result of the renovation, Meer’s Point now has a new double restroom facility, three ramadas with grills, a new three sleeve boat dock, a new fishing dock and landscaping. All facilities are wheelchair accessible. Completed in June 2001, the renovation project now provides an attractive recreation ground for family picnics, fishing, wildlife observation, and canoeing.
