Worthington s Olentangy Parklands: Middle schooler pitches plan for mountain-bike trail
ThisWeek group
A proposal for a mountain-bike trail in Worthington s Olentangy Parklands, as pitched by a Worthington Schools seventh-grader, is starting to take shape.
Worthington Parks and Recreation Department director Darren Hurley briefed City Council on April 5 regarding a motion the parks and recreation commission had approved in late March, designating an approximately 4-acre wooded area in the park “for trail development and usage of a mountain-biking facility for two years,” under several conditions, according to the motion.
Parks and recreation officials are expected to meet with the Central Ohio Mountain Biking Organization – a nonprofit that works with localities to design, construct and manage mountain-biking areas – in the near future to discuss a contract, according to Hurley.
