The 44 acre Greenbelt Park is now home to over 900 trees – 17 different varieties, 2 miles of trails, 8 picnic tables, 5 drinking fountains, 6 park benches, and plenty of open green space. The district installed interior lighting along the asphalt trail. The lights are on timers and are set to come on at 5:00 a.m. turn off at sunrise, come on at sunset and turn off at 10:00 p.m. In addition, the street lighting along the park perimeter has been upgraded from single arm lamps to double arm lamp posts to provide expanded lighting of the perimeter concrete trail. These improvements provide District residents with a high quality park facility while meeting the diverse desires expressed by residents during public meetings.
