These trails will be 10-feet wide to accommodate pedestrian or bicycle traffic and eventually make their way around the northwest side of the park by the new five acre pond and go south, crossing 10th street and giving children safer routes to school. Additional ideas for future park improvements are scheduled to be discussed at a special parks planning meeting tonight at 6 p.m. at the Newcastle Storm Shelter, 851 N Carr Drive. Everyone is welcome to attend. Photo by Scott Hannan
