BUDGET ORDINANCE IMPACT
Increase funds for trail development at George Poston Park.
BACKGROUND
Parks and Recreation received $100,000 from the George Poston Fund at the Gaston County Community Foundation. The funds will be used as matching funds for grants to construct trails on County property along the South Fork River Corridor connection to Poston Park.
George Poston Park currently has 13 miles of trails. The trails are frequently used by walkers, runners, and mountain bikers. The new proposed trails at George Poston Park would provide a connection from the river side of Poston to the main area of the Park and then to the County’s property line near the base of Spencer Mountain.
