Background:
The total amount of the project is $255,000.00. The grant amount is $170,000.00, with the City of Columbus being responsible for a match amount of $85,000.00. The NatureWorks Grant is administered by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. This grant is for the construction of an open shelter, parking lot, and connecting trails on the currently undeveloped Wilson Road Parkland located between West Broad Street and Sullivant Avenue on South Wilson Road. A multi-use athletic field is currently under construction on the parkland and is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2014. Additionally, the Camp Chase Trail, which will connect the City’s west side to downtown, is scheduled to begin construction in the fall of 2014 with completion in 2015. These improvements would serve both users of the athletic field and users of the Camp Chase Trail and would allow the Recreation and Parks Department to open up the park to use by the general public. The Recreation and Parks Department is currently working with the Friends of Camp Chase Trail, the Westgate Neighborhood Association, the Greater Hilltop Area Commission, and other members of the local community to obtain input on a master plan for the park that will guide the design and layout of these improvements.
