Ford Street Mountain Bike Trail Park to open June 28th
The City of Clarksville’s Parks and Recreation Department invites the public to the Ford Street Mountain Bike Trail Park on Saturday, June 28th to celebrate the official grand opening of the newly constructed mountain biking trail park.
A ribbon cutting ceremony with Clarksville Mayor Kim McMillan and special guest speakers will be held at 10:00am at the Ford Street Mountain Bike Trail Park, located on Ford Street.
At this time, the new park consists of a 2.2-mile, advanced-level trail loop designed for experienced mountain bikers. The park’s maintenance staff, local COGS, IMBA/SORBA as well as volunteers contributed to the year-long project.
The 2.2 miles is only the beginning as eventually the Park will have miles of trail designated for advanced, intermediate, and novice riders. It is anticipated that another ¾-miles will be open by mid to late August, as trail development continues weekly.
All members of the public are invited and encouraged to attend. Those interested in riding are asked to bring their own equipment, as there will be only limited equipment available on a first come, first serve basis.
Adaptive Yoga to start in July
Clarksville Parks and Recreation is excited to announce the launch of a new program! Beginning Thursday July 10th, The Burt-Cobb Community Center will host Adaptive Yoga. Adaptive Yoga is a beginner yoga class for those members of the community with cognitive disabilities.
Classes are offered every Thursday evening from 6:30pm to 7:30pm, beginning July 10th, 2014 through August 14th, 2014. Instructed by Radiant Yoga’s very own Trish Nagy, participants will learn useful relaxation and calming techniques. Adaptive Yoga is also an excellent way to improve fitness levels with gentle progression.
Aids are welcome to participate. Yoga mats are limited; please bring your own if possible. Adaptive Yoga is free and open to all age groups!
