PI Lighthouse Preservation Project

The structures include the Presque Isle Lighthouse, the Land Lighthouse and the North Pier Light. The committee's focus for the present is on the Presque Isle Lighthouse.

Barracks Beach Windmill

Renewable Energy in Action.

The Partnership sponsored the Presque Isle Wind Energy Project, which included the installation of the 10 Kilowatt wind turbine on Barracks Beach across from the Stull Interpretive Center. It produces between 11,000 - 12,000 kwh/yr of clean, emissions-free electricity; enough power to sustainably run the center. This project is an investment in Pennsylvania's energy future of clean and renewable energy, and it demonstrates the air pollution reductions realized by electricity that offsets fossil fuel-generated electricity.

Waterworks Playground Expansion

The playground in the Waterworks area is one of the Partnership’s proudest accomplishments and most popular additions to Presque Isle State Park. In 2005, the Partnership replaced the outdated playground with one that was more creative, durable and challenging for the children who used it. The unique playground was an instant success. Its design allows it to be expandable, and in September 2008 two swing sets were added to the playground.
