Will there be access over Clear Creek?

Yes. The Parks and Recreation Department received $200,000 in funding from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Resource Enhancement and Protection (REAP) program for the construction of a bridge over Clear Creek, which cuts through the park. The bridge will provide safe access for patrons to the 40-plus acres of property located on the south side of Clear Creek.
