City Hall just shared the following information:
Greenagers, Inc., an education and conservation nonprofit, will be doing trail work in conjunction with local students at Oakdale Park from April 1 to April 10. A section of the forest loop trail will be temporarily closed on April 1 and April 2 due to tree work near the trail. Please observe any trail closure signs and exercise caution if you are in the woods during this period. As a reminder, all dogs must be kept on leash at all times in Oakdale Park.
You know what we haven't heard an update about for several months from the Youth Department regarding Oakdale? Where things stand with National Grid handing us their large portion of the wooded area back by the frog ponds, which includes all of the trail from Spring Street to the DSS driveway and at least a portion of the ponds. Technically, anyone using that trail and its environs, including summer camp youth, are trespassing on private property. When will the latest Youth Director fill us in?
ReplyDeleteNo one can hike the trail around Oakdale without trespassing on National Grid property. Not that they're watching. (Though there is a surveillance camera back there near the platform that is on city property and likely the property of the youth department. So charming!)
Is there even signage that indicates this is now private?
