Ironwood Parks & Rec Committee Discuss New Equipment for Walking Trails

The Ironwood Parks and Recreation Committee is discussing the potential for adding fitness equipment stations along walking trails. Director of community development for the city of Ironwood, Tom Bergman presented the idea to the committee to consider as a priority project before the Trust Fund grant application deadline in April. If the committee approves the next step would be to apply for the grant while simultaneously raising as much money as possible to provide a high match. Sam Davey, committee chair, asked Bergman to present cost estimates for various types of stations at the February meeting. Bergman said in the presentation that fitness equipment for the Iron Belle Trail or other trails could be an upgrade to attract more and different types of users.
