Show PATHWAY TO PARK IS MADE ATTRACTIVE FOB ALL TIip citizens of the city, who desire to take a quiet stroll, may now have the advantage of a secluded pathway vrhich winds around the base of thp bluff a( t ho city cemetery and along the old Middleton ditch to Glenwood park. Last fall the cltj purchased eleven acres of ground along il)- dtch in a n irrow r-1 rip and had 11 cleared of un-: un-: rbrilflh and plowpd. Thp wintpr rains and snows have packed the parth down quilt smoothly so that tho old ditch bank makes a broad path and the running water in Hip ditch has the appearance of a real brook. Rustic brnL'fs have In, n mad'' at I ho placps Where the path crosses the ditch and Bom trees have been planted. This path forms a shortcut to Glenwood park, there being a root bridge across the Ogden river on the south side of the p. irk grounds. Commissioner .Miles L. Jones, superintendent super-intendent of parks, has had men working work-ing at different times on tli pathway and they have succeeded in making the one kind of a path that most people peo-ple liko when taking a stroll, one that is secluded and has the surroundings of nature. The entrance to the pathway Is on Twentieth street, opposite the Dee BChooL At this entrance the city will place a rustic archway that will leave an entrance wide enough for three people to walk in abreast, but too narrow nar-row for any automobile. About half way from the pntrance to the walk, which is really a narrow ffrildwood park, is a trial that leads up the bluff into the cemetery, so that those coming from Glenwood puk may go up through the cemetery If they desire or those going to the park may go In that way. Farther work will be donp to beautify beauti-fy the extension to Glenwood park and make it one of the most pleasant spots in the city. There are splots along the way where families who desire to have a little picnic m.i find seclusion in a wooded place without going far from home |
