The Watertown Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Department is excited to announce the creation of a professionally designed single-track trail at Lion’s Park and improvements to the existing disc golf course. These new additions align with the recently completed Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Master Plan, compiled by Stockwell, which identified developing and improving trails, enhancing nature areas and habitat, and redesigning the disc golf course as key community priorities.
The low-maintenance single-track trail is located in the heart of Lion’s Park. It will cater to various outdoor enthusiasts, including runners, mountain bikers, and those seeking access to fishing opportunities.
"We are thrilled to bring this new trail to our community," said Dusty Rodiek, Director of Parks and Recreation. "Our goal is to provide exceptional outdoor recreational opportunities that align with the desires of our residents and visitors."
In addition to the single-track trail, the department has embarked on a redesign of the disc golf course. The renovations will include three newly designed holes that extend into the wooded area on the north side of Lion's Park. This initiative aims to modernize the course, enhance the player experience, and meet tournament-level quality standards, making Watertown a premier destination for competitive disc golf events.
The Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Department, as well as the Parks, Recreation & Forestry Board, encourage residents and visitors to explore and enjoy these new additions to Lion's Park.
