Niverville is home to many beautiful parks, large and small. The newest park is located in The Highlands, west of town. The Highlands Park can be found on Krahn Road, south of Tweed Lane.
Currently the park is being rough-graded, meaning that lots of dirt is being hauled in. This earth will eventually be used to fashion berms and hills, along with a playing field for pickup soccer and football games.
The park will also feature a natural play area with a climbing wall, hill slide, boulders, log climber, and swings. A walking path through the park will connect Krahn Road with Tweed Lane. Lots of trees will be planted throughout the park, particularly to block the wind from the east and west sides.
Parks don’t appear overnight. They take a few years of planning, fundraising, grant applications, and good weather to execute. The town hopes to have the park functional by the end of this summer. However, if the summer turns out to be unusually wet, the park may not be ready until next spring.
