Trail News
The 8/10th mile "new" trail that was started on April
1 is OFFICIALLY COMPLETE!!! Work was finished by 7 volunteers at
Wednesday's evening trail work session. If you haven't seen the
trail recently, check it out!!! A revised trail map is available
at: http://pvpark.org/documents/pv_map_2.1.pdf and at the park.
We'll continue with our Wednesday evening trail work sessions and
start on the remaining 6/10th of a mile (on the other side of the
meadow) that we have permission to build.
Murrysville Community Day
Although use of PV Park has increased significantly this year, there
are still a lot of people who are not aware of the park or what
it has to offer. We took an opportunity to publicize PV Park by
having a booth at Murrysville Community Day on Saturday August 25,
2007. We had photos of the park (both printed and in a slide show
on a laptop computer), trail maps, and a video taken while walking
the trail. The booth was well recieved, and raised awareness about
the park. Thanks to the Belak family, 4H members, and Scott Hollern
who manned the booth in the 90 degree heat.
At community day, we found that 8x10 color photos (printed on 8-1/2x11
paper and laminated) were a very effective way to attract attention.
The size allows them to be seen from a good distance, and the laminating
shrugs off fingerprints and a even little rain. If you have any
good photos of PV Park, especially of people doing things (hiking,
mountain biking, snow shoeing, etc.) please consider printing them,
having them laminated, and donating them to the PV Park Volunteers
for use at future events.
