A popular walking trail at Harrison Park in Owen Sound now has a fresh coat of asphalt on it.
Surface improvements for a portion of the Mile Drive Trail — which runs through a forested area along the east side of the Sydenham River — wrapped up on Tuesday.
The trail used to be gravel and was tabbed for resurfacing in order to improve year round access, accessibility and to reduce ongoing maintenance.
Council allocated $100,000 in the city’s 2020 capital budget for the project. Owen Sound’s Director of Parks and Open Space Adam Parsons said recently there were cost overages due to a bridge loading study.
