Springvale
With all the caches in Spingvale Park, we
figured some of you might want a little history of how it came
into existance.
Springvale Park is pretty new. In 1995,
approximately 107 acres of the park were aquired by tax
forfeit. Shortly after that it was decided to create a
county park and plans for developement were put into
motion.
In May of 1999, approximately 62 additional acres
were purchased from Tom & Adrienne
Wolcyn.
In September of 2000, an additional 40 acres
(8 acres are currently in a life estate and still privately
owned) were purchased from Ron & Anita
Teetzel.
Recent improvements include a parking lot, a paved
trail to an observation point, and native plants
restoration.
Have fun and enjoy the
park!!!
