Galloway Creek Greenway Trail & Area Updates
Category Projects | Posted on June 7, 2021
Pardon Our Progress!
Our community's beloved Galloway Creek Greenway Trail & Area is about to receive some much needed repairs and improvements. Many partners are working together on these projects, and we did not anticipate all of them starting this summer. These projects are all experiencing changes in schedule due to weather and the supply chain. We realize that this is one of the trail's busiest seasons; however, here we are. The improvements will be worth the temporary inconveniences. We hope that you are excited that these improvements are getting started, or are about to get started. Let's be kind and patient with one another during these planned improvements.
