PROGRAM OR FACILITY SUGGESTIONS?

Do you have a suggestion for a new program or facility? We are always looking for new, innovative ideas to include with our program and facility offerings. If so, you can call or write to Lenoir City Parks and Recreation at the address below.

TOWN CREEK GREENWAY – PHASE II

Phase II of our Town Creek Greenway system is scheduled to be completed by the end of May, 2006. The additional trail will begin at the Rock Springs Park area, run along the creek through the Wampler Keith Park and commence at the Lenoir City Middle School property. It will actually end adjacent to the new Lenoir City Swimming Pool Complex. Phase II will add approximately 1.25 miles of trail to our greenway which will make the total length 1.75 miles one way. So from Broadway to the middle school and back would be 3.5 miles in length.
The new addition will be an 8 foot wide, concrete trail consisting of 5 total bridge crossings. There will be 2 wood foot bridges and 3 long steel bridges. Benches and trash receptacles will be placed throughout the trail area for people to use. There will also be 3 road crossings at McGhee Blvd., Simpson Road and Town Creek Road. All road crossings will be striped and signage will be installed to assure that all pedestrians are safe from vehicle traffic.
Because of budget constraints, Phase II will not be lighted when first opened to the public. We would encourage anyone who would like to walk at night to continue to use Phase I until we are able to light the addition. It is our desire to at least provide some temporary lighting in some parts of the trail.
We want to encourage everyone to keep an eye open for the soon Grand Opening of Phase II and to be sure and use the trail as soon as it is finished. If you have any questions or comments please contact the Parks and Recreation Office at 986-1223.

SWIMMING POOL UPDATE

Construction on the new Lenoir City Swimming Pool Complex is presently underway and the contractor is trying his best to have the facility open by July 4th weekend. The pool is going to be 6 lanes by 25 yards which is large enough to handle swim competitions. A splash pad area next to the pool should be a big attraction for the younger folks. And the pool will also have a state of the art pool house to handle everyone’s needs.
The City is looking into the possibility of covering the pool during the winter months in order to have the facility open year-round. For more information please contact the Parks and Recreation Office at 986-1223.
