This would be a great time for friends of Rome's "Central Park" to contact the city's parks and rec department about the parks master plan they are working on.
I certainly want to promote sensitive development of walking and bike trails, boardwalks, and wildlife viewing stations in the city's Burwell Creek, Burwell Forest, and City Duck pond -- connecting the beautiful Jackson Hill trails to Ridge Ferry Park and the Riverwalk trail system. There should be space for a little parking and trailheads off Riverside Parkway near the tracks as well as off Dogwood at the Duck Pond and off Vaughn Road near where the chipper equipment is now located.
With this new master plan, I hope our dream of a "Central Park" will finally begin to take shape!
