Officially open as of 30 minutes ago!!!
After a much anticipated opening, they removed the barricades this morning. This park is a gem. The Pond, which is actually ground water unearthed years ago by the open pit gravel mine at this location, is a great habitat by water fowl and other birds and wildlife in the area. The Canadian Geese are the watchdogs of the place.
So far with the completion of phase one of the park there is a 1.3 mile trail around the water, two large basketball courts, two sand volleyball courts, two corporate BBQ/picnic areas, five individual BBQ/picnic areas overlooking the water, large bathrooms, Rental facilities for large groups, and a large grassy area (dog owners please use the baggies!).
I expect this park to be home to many future memories of friends and families enjoying nature and their time together. There are plans for this park to be a destination for City festivals and celebrations.
Let's keep this place clean and enjoyable for all!
