Trail distance markers will be placed at park

People who walk at Antrim Township Community Park will soon be able to tell how far they've gone.

Approval for the purchase of decals to be placed at one-10th mile intervals on the shared use trail was among the park-related items handled by township supervisors Tuesday night.

Rodney Eberly, park director, said people who enjoy the shared use trail have asked for a way to indicate the distance they have traveled.

Supervisors approved the purchase of 15 decals for $20 each, as well as 10 "field closed" signs to use at the park as weather dictates for $8 each.

Supervisors also backed the recommendation of the parks committee for almost $11,000 more in park and recreation grants.

Two weeks ago, supervisors approved the committee's recommendations for $27,000 of the annual $40,000 allocation and asked the committee what to do with the remainder.

The second round of grants awarded Tuesday night totaled $10,991 and includes G-A Fastpitch, $272; Shady Grove Improvement Association, $738; State Line Ruritan Club, $6,250; and Tayamentasachta, $3,731.
