What started several years ago as a Girl Scout Gold Award project for then two high school girls, Morgan Rogers and Caitlyn Tipple, is now a reality. The official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the Town Center Trail was held on July 1 at South Central Park. The 1.2-mile multi-purpose trail connects community assets in North Ridgeville’s Town Center including South Central Park, Senior Center, City Hall, North Ridgeville Branch Library, and North Ridgeville Middle School. The 10-foot wide asphalt trail provides residents with a dedicated recreational pedestrian and bicycle facility.
The trail was funded by a grant in the amount of $150,000 from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, coupled with the fundraising efforts and donation of $10,000 from Morgan and Caitlyn, and a $5,000 donation from the Friends of the Park; this left the city’s portion at approximately $125,000. The trail is a wonderful asset to the city and our parks.
