A new park in Lafayette provides access to the North 9th Street trail and loop which connects to the Wabash Heritage Corridor.
Officials celebrated the opening of Trailhead Park this morning.
The property was once a vacant lot.
Funding from the city’s Redevelopment Commission made the transformation possible.
The park contains picnic tables, a drinking fountain, an information kiosk and bike racks, along with a five acre native prairie with native trees and flowers.
Trailhead Park is located just south of the McAllister Park entrance on North 9th Street.
