Sackville’s latest trail will have parking access by the end of the year.
In a special meeting on Monday, Tantramar council approved hiring Bowser’s Construction to build a small parking lot on Charlotte Street at the trail entrance for the new Quarry Park trail.
Pryde says the lot will hold five to six cars and give access to the new crushed gravel path which leads to a newly constructed bridge and viewing platform looking down into the quarry.
The 300 metre path in from Charlotte Street provides an “accessible option, so that people can come in and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the quarry property,” says Pryde. The rest of the roughly one kilometre loop is “meant to be kind of a wilderness, rough trail,” says Pryde.
