The Milton City Council has approved an agreement with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources to construct an ADA-accessible trail at Providence Park.
Milton will receive a $200,000 Recreation Trails Grant from the state to help pay for the project. The grant requires a 20 percent match from the city, Parks and Recreation Director Jim Cregge said in a memo to the council.
The new trail will be an 8-foot-wide, paved trail a half-mile long, according to the project agreement. No grade will exceed 5 percent, and most of the trail will have grades of less than 5 percent.
“Beginning at the proposed restroom building near the parking area, the trail will travel into the core of the park, allowing access to the proposed performance green/observation lawn within the quarry for concerts and other events, access to the quarry overlook for (an) exciting bird’s-eye view of the quarry, and (onto) the proposed Nature Center,” the agreement says.
