City Finally Gets Grant For Dyas Traingle Park

Fairhope, Alabama

GOMESA GRANT AWARDED

After various applications in past years, the city finally received a grant for almost $1 million for a nature park on the northern section of its 'Dyas triangle' property. 

To be called the North Triangle Nature Park, multi-use trails and an outdoor classroom are envisioned for the park according to mayor Sullivan. Earlier plans also included restrooms at a trail head on Veteran's Drive.

Governor Ivey announced recipients of the federally-funded grants yesterday, using the state's share of offshore oil drilling revenue.

This is great news and a positive step in keeping "green space" within Fairhope. Let's hope they keep this going in the future.

No finer walking trails than the Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trails in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores.
28 miles, many places to sit and enjoy the views.
Serveral trail heads, you can print a trail map from their web page.

The triangle area is already a traffic nightmare.. Hoping the project will not make it worse.

Another straw on the camel’s back . The existing parks now are not being care for properly. Get a grant & create $100,000 yearly maintenance bill .

All of Fairhope is not being maintained. Last time I walked downtown a few weeks ago I was amazed at the litter everywhere, days’ worth in some places.

I don't wish for real problems in Fairhope, but I do wonder if one or two might offer some folks perspective.

Good golly.
