PASCACK BROOK COUNTY PARK NORTH, WESTWOOD
PROJECT: Pedestrian Walking
Paths and Parking Improvements at
Pascack Brook County Park, Westwood
The core improvement of this project is the creation of a comprehensive pathway system that will take advantage of the Park's hidden, natural amenities, and will make the Park more available and attractive to its diverse group of users, including walkers, cyclists, joggers, dog walkers and school-age cyclists in particular.
The County's proposed walkway along Pascack Brook will tie into Westwood's Westvale Park. This connection will provide a pathway so that school children will have a safe way to walk to Westwood's Berkeley School and provide easy access to recreational facilities and activities in Westvale Park or for both adults and children to continue on into downtown Westwood.
In short, improvement to Pascack Brook County Park will provide a comprehensive and integrated pathway system, which will provide a variety of ways for residents to exercise and enjoy nature.
Construction is to start in August 2011.
