Fairhope Investigating Dyas Triangle’s Future
City of Fairhope officials are working to find the best way to preserve the natural environment of the Dyas Triangle, while making the site accessible to the public, Gulf Coast Media reports. Plans being developed by the city call for the 108-acre site to become a municipal nature park. Possibilities include a learning or nature center, educational kiosks, an access tunnel under the adjoining road, nature trails and restrooms. The triangle is a parcel at the intersections of Alabama 104, US 98 and Section Street. Fairhope bought the land for $8.75 million in 2014 after a legal dispute with the owners over its development.

In addition, Fairhope officials are working to prepare a forestry management plan for the site.
