Gleaning Facebook: A Map of Our "Central Park"

With the Burwell Creek Natural Area we have a beautiful Central Park.

Without it we have two unassociated greenspaces separated by typical urban sprawl-- a run-of-the-mill strip mall, out-parcels with a succession of eateries, and an apartment complex plagued by light pollution, noise pollution, horrible traffic and noise on event weekends, pulpwood and coal trains at all hours and the unpleasant knowledge that they are living atop a mound of rubble covering deeply a little bit of paradise, lost.

Shame on the incumbent candidates for City Commission who have supported this outrage.

Vote NO incumbents.

Vote for Abeed Bawa, Sundai Stevenson, and Craig McDaniel.

If you want to walk around the Burwell Creek property you can park in the parking lot that is connected to the shopping center that includes Las Palmas. The parking lot section is the one closest to Ridge Ferry Park and is next to Burwell Creek. Follow the creek toward the Riverside Pkwy bridge. You'll walk into some tall grasses right before you go under the bridge - look for the trail through the grasses. After you go under the bridge, you'll see the wetlands on the right, and on the left will be the trails and open spaces.
