Each Friday, the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department features something new for residents and visitors to learn more about. This week we want to tell you about a project at the Pebble Ridge Park!
In August, we contracted with Northeast Asphalt to pave the trail at Pebble Ridge Park. They paved approximately 1,600 feet of 8 foot wide trail. Prior to paving, the trail was all gravel and frequently washed out, creating low spots. These low spots retained water and made it difficult to use after a rainfall.
This new
paved section of trail provides an overall cleaner, safer, surface for users.
It starts at the Pebble Ridge Road entrance then runs through the prairie and
along the stormwater pond before meeting up with the trail system on Design
Drive. The paving branches off to align
with the entrances of woods on either side of the prairie. The wooded section
of the trail will remain gravel. It would be very difficult, and expensive, to
pave through the woods and would result in the loss of many trees.
