The Parks Operations and Forestry team continue to work on the Crane Park Revitalization Project.

During phase one, crews have completed buckthorn removals, graded the parking lot and are now ready for trail widening.

The next phase will be completed in two areas:

·        Between College Avenue and Stone Road West to the Speed River

·        Between Dovercliffe Road and the main trail

Starting July 15 to August 6, crews will begin widening sections of the trail between College Avenue and Stone Road West to the Speed River. These trail improvements will help improve safety and accessibility, reduce maintenance and protect the Speed River.               

Work between Dovercliffe Road and the main trail will happen later this summer and into 2020.

Crane Park will remain open during construction, however, we’re asking residents to stay out of the marked areas until the work is complete. We will restore the natural area by planting native trees, shrubs and wildflowers in 2020, after the trail improvements are complete.

Happy trails!
