This month, Findlay City Council voted to move forward with design and engineering for the recreation area. The city is now working with a design firm to explore various features, which could include approximately two miles of walking and running paths, a multipurpose stage, splash pad, kayak launch, and fishing areas. Plans also call for a 460-foot pedestrian bridge to connect both sides of the Blanchard River.

The City of St. Marys officially opened their new pedestrian bridge next to the high school and middle school today. Previously, students had to cross State Route 66 to get to school on foot. The bridge has been planned for many years and took around a year to complete construction. The bridge itself has lighting for the safety of pedestrians and is designed to protect motorists below.
