The restoration added stability and diversity to the river system through the use of wood, rocks and vegetation. Large root wads were used along the stream banks to combat erosion and provide habitat for fish. These can be seen in the river along the trail. Leash law enforced on Greenbelt. Please clean up after your dog. ---PAGE BREAK--- #3 Optimist Park - W. Garfield St. Large parking area, playground, dog park, picnic area and ADA access.
