Project list:
Depending on how many volunteers we have this is our list of projects in order of importance.
- Cut new trail to access Bales Park and 61st at SW corner of 61st and HWY 75
- Rake out drains on all trails
- This is an ongoing project to keep the new trails in good repair.
- Rock armor low wet spot on upper lot north entrance.
- That north trailhead is unfortunately where most of the water drains for the upper parking lot. This will require a lot of rock moving.
- Touch up on new staircase
- After a week of use and settling in, it likely will need some touchup, crushing rocks in the trail bed to add thinking to keep rocks from teetering
- Likely first couple of years of stairs will need periodic maintenance like this.
- Older trail reclamation
- Some older trails that were shut down permanently (like the blue trail next to Zingo, the old yellow trail that went from upper lot to ridge/point, the old west entrance on upper parking lot near driveway) are starting to get “reopened” by folks and we need to go in and rebrush them and reclaim them.
- Additionally if any families or groups wish to just come out and pick up litter we will gladly set them to work too!
If you have any questions please contact Bobby, Eric or Peter
