THURSDAY, 27 MARCH 2008

The Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department informed the city of Greenwood that their citywide hiking trail project will receive a federal grant.

According to Parks and Recreation Director Doug Kinslow, the grant is worth $67,520. Aside from the general trail construction, park officials hope to use the fund to purchase amenities like pavilion or trail head.

The hiking trail system will provide local residents and visitors a much needed greenspace, which can serve as an environmental habitat classroom. Moreover, the hiking trail may be the one place where they can safely exercise or simply enjoy recreational activities such as hiking.
