Improvements Planned For Foley Nature Parks

The Foley City Council approved plans to move forward with several projects at city nature parks. Projects include moving forward with the design of restrooms and a pavilion at the Graham Creek Nature Preserve. The facilities will be on Russian Road, which is being paved by Baldwin County. The paving work should be complete before construction of the restrooms and pavilion begins. The city is also installing trail signs throughout the preserve. The council approved the transfer of funding to begin the signage project. Foley is also seeking an Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs Recreational Trails Program grant for an overlook boardwalk at Wolf Creek Park. The grant would pay 80% of the costs to build a boardwalk and observation deck that complies with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
