Please join us Tuesday, Oct. 1 at 3 p.m. at Game Farm Park Bridge for a ribbon cutting of the new pedestrian bridge linking Game Farm Park and Game Farm Wilderness Park.
As you may know, about half of Auburn's potable water comes from Coal Creek Springs, with a critical transmission main transporting water through Game Farm Wilderness Park and the White River. This pipe, originally built in the 1920s and partially replaced in the 1960s, required urgent replacement of 870 feet under the river. After exploring multiple alternatives, the City opted to install a bridge for the new transmission main, minimizing environmental impact and creating a pedestrian connection between two city parks.
The project is funded by a low-interest state loan, along with City Water Utility and Parks Funds.
 The bridge is at the northeast corner of the park, near the end of the parking lot. Just walk past the bathrooms and amphitheater and it's directly to your left.
