Ada Hayden Trail Closures Shift on Thursday
AMES, Iowa – Trail sections in Ada Hayden Heritage Park, 5205 Grand Ave., that closed Monday will transition around midday on Thursday, Feb. 6 to new locations. The closures are necessary for vegetation maintenance. Closures are marked with signage, and visitors are not allowed in the work zones due to the dangers of the equipment being used.
“The work clearing willows and volunteer trees from throughout the park is progressing well,” said City Forester Gabriele Edwards. “We are using a forestry mulcher for this work, and the safety of visitors is a priority. As the signage is shifted, visitors should pay attention to the change in trail closures.”
Any updates will be posted to City of Ames and Ames Parks and Recreation social media. The work is anticipated to take several days and will be weather dependent. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources recently stocked Ada Hayden Lake with trout and most fishing areas in the park will not be impacted by this work.
Ada Hayden Heritage Park is a 400-acre park in north Ames that includes a 130-acre lake. The park features paved and crushed rock trails.
