Prospect Park Trail System Repair to Begin

Posted: 03/28/07

The City of Moline will soon begin repairing the gravel walking trails at Prospect Park. Trail repair was delayed due to the harsh winter, but is now expected to begin within the next two weeks, weather permitting. Repairs are expected to be complete by May 31st.

In December of 2006, the Moline City Council approved the purchase of construction materials to repair the Prospect Park trails. Repairs to the two main trails, (from the grand pavilion to the Music Guild, and from the grand pavilion parking lot to the 15th Street C parking lot), will be completed by city crews. The gravel trails will remain closed while under repair. Other trail repairs are planned and will proceed as funding and time permit.

The remainder of Prospect Park, including the restored grand pavilion, pond, playground and new disc golf course are currently open.

The $200,000 fitness trails were installed in 2006 as part of the $1.2 million park renovation.
