Adair County Secret Park - secret to some, but already in use 2015-09-07 - 151 Col. Casey Drive, Columbia, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener. Fast becoming an integral part of Adair County's park system - The Adair County Schools campus. It's long been a dream of many to make use of an obvious place for shared use of public grounds and to do so getting the most value for dollar spent. On a glorious Labor Day morning, today, evidence of the campus' value as a park was everywhere to be seen. This picnic area was developed by the schools' maintenance crew, who simply cleared out underbrush and added three picnic tables to create an instant picnic area. When the weather is favorable it's in heavy use during school hours. According to Supt. Alan Reed and the schools head of maintenance David Jones, it will, in time, be available for more use by the general public. In fact, they are now working with other community entities on the details already, dovetailing efforts with Parks and Recreation, the City and County, with Jelaine Harlow and Ellen Zornes' W.A.T.C.H. group, and with Mary Anne Loy, the leading advocate for better walking opportunities in the area. Security for the schools, student and public safety, are part of the planning. This morning evidence of utilization of the campus was everywhere already. Construction and maintenance was ongoing. A number of people were out "Walking their way to health," as Supt. Reed put it, on the campus, and beyond, on the bypass, runners could be seen. The magic of the place, the vistas, have always been there. Now, landscaping, new lighting is underway. The truly amazing thing is it's all being done despite serious reductions in funding, the campus transformation is the talk of the state, community assets are growing, and the balance sheet, like the campus, has never looked better. - EW. PS - If you see a board member - Chairman Floyd Burton (Div 4), and members Terry Harvey (1), Quin Lasley (2), Lisa Burton (3) or Mike Harris (4), tell them you saw, care, and appreciate the progress. They've got some of the toughest responsibilities of any, and they are doing it so well. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
