Friends Of Eldora Parks And Recreation

ELDORA'S PARK STREET CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AIMS TO SEE IMPROVEMENTS TO THREE PUBLIC SPACES LOCATED ALONG PARK STREET/4TH STREET IN ELDORA. IT WILL ADDRESS PUBLIC HEALTH BY INCREASING ACCESS TO FREE, FRESH PRODUCE, AND INCREASE OPPORTUNITIES FOR BOTH CHILDREN AND ADULTS TO BE MORE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE. FIRST IS THE ADDITION OF AN 18-HOLE DISC GOLF COURSE TO MEMORIAL PARK. THE LOCATION OF MEMORIAL PARK IS SET TO BEGIN RECEIVING MORE TRAFFIC FROM BICYCLE RIDERS, AS THE RIVER'S EDGE TRAIL IS NEARING COMPLETION AND WILL CONNECT TO THE PARK. SECONDLY, THE ADDITION OF A NEW 12' BY 12' GREENHOUSE WITH RAISED BEDS AT THE ELDORA COMMUNITY GARDEN WILL ALLOW THE GARDEN TO EXTEND THE GROWING SEASON, INCREASE ACCESS TO LEAFY GREENS IN THE LATE FALL/SPRING SEASONS AND REDUCE COSTS TO THE GARDEN THAT IT CURRENTLY SPENDS ON ANNUAL VEGETABLE STARTER PLANTS. LASTLY, THIS PROJECT AIMS TO INSTALL A NEW NATURE-BASED PLAY STRUCTURE IN THE CHILDREN'S SENSORY GARDEN.
