Open Space, Parks & Trails

Our open spaces, parks and trails, along with our rivers, lakes, ponds and streams are tremendous assets for our community!  People I speak with tell me how much they enjoy these resources and that they support the Township's plans to expand and promote the trail system as well as other outdoor recreational opportunities.

Statistics show that these types of resources not only provide us with healthy and enjoyable ways to spend time with our family and friends, they also have a tremendous positive impact on community property values!  Business also benefits, as they have the potential to bring in significant revenue from those living outside our community.

I am proud to serve as a member of the Trails Committee and look forward to working towards the completion of Phase II of our trail expansion.  Making sure our trail system provides a Safe Route To School, is one of my top priorities.

Ensuring equal access to our open space, park and trail resources is also very important.  I will continue to lobby for a community park, located between Ada Drive and the Central Woodlands 5/6 school, that would provide the children and adults living in Adacroft Commons, Ada Town, Ada Woods, Clements Mill and Paradise Lake, with a safe and accessible park, close to where they live.
