Park goals examined in meeting with Henson

Columbia Mayor Pam Hoots and volunteers met with landscape architect Darren Henson last week to view possibilities for the 17-acre park on Burkesville Street.

In his career Henson, an Adair County native, has helped many cities in Tennessee and Kentucky develop areas for safe public use and enjoyment for all age groups.

From the survey done last year, dreams for the park - as grants can be obtained - include: a walking track, play area, benches, a dog park, restrooms, native plantings, and some form of history documentation for educational purposes, possibly like the ghost buildings at the Blue Herron Railway park.





Immediate short term goals include securing grants for clearing the grounds, creating a half-mile walking trail and parking. The property is not open to the public at this time.

With Henson and Mayor Hoots at the meeting were: Richard Phelps, Mary Anne Loy, Chuck Rogers, Robert Flowers, and Linda Waggener.
