North Logan continues enhancements of King's Park

By Bethany Crane

February 8, 2008 | NORTH LOGAN -- At the mouth of Green Canyon lies King's Park, where over a year and a half time frame many additions have been made for the community's enjoyment, with more to come this spring.

The wildlife in Green Canyon are hard pressed to find food during the winter, so to ease this problem North Logan has put together a feeding program for the animals by supplying hay and food supplements to keep them alive and in the area. Everything from deer to the occasional moose have been seen living in this area, so its preservation is essential.

The additions to be made in the spring are adding a lake both for aesthetic and wildlife enjoyment, the equestrian center moved to the park so people may ride horses up through the canyon and the surrounding trails, a pavilion for reunions and weddings with the canyon as the backdrop.

Mayor Cary Watkins is excited for the changes and the way the park will let the community enjoy the natural beauty surrounding them. He emphasized that the already used area will become even more used and it remain as naturalistic as possible.

There isn't anything else in Utah like it, it is beautiful said Watkins. With new trails, extended land into the canyon, skiers, hikers, picnic tables along the way, this will be a perfect place to enjoy during both the winter and the summer. It will preserve the land and save a part of the natural history for future generations to enjoy.
