Fort Wayne Trails Supports New Haven with $12,000 for Boardwalk Maintenance

On Wednesday, September 10th, the Fort Wayne Trails staff and board vice chair Lynn Marbach, presented New Haven Parks & Recreation Parks Director Nick Goranson with a check for $12,000. These funds will be used for maintenance, including pressure washing and board replacement on all of the boardwalks under New Haven management, over 1,680 linear feet.

“As an advocacy organization, we often communicate directly with trail users, granting us a unique ‘wheels on the ground’ perspective of what is happening on the trails. We have had many conversations about the potential for these boardwalks to be slippery when wet, and it has been many years since they have been pressure-washed. “ James Holm – Director of Community Engagement

“FWT is pleased to provide these maintenance dollars to continue helping keep the trails safe and accessible for all. Small projects like this really make an impact on usability and show we are listening to trail users who alert us of maintenance needs.” Kent Castleman – Executive Director
