The Master Plan
 In October 1998, Pathways for Radford and the City of Radford received a
grant of $8,200 from the Virginia Department of Forestry to develop a Master Plan for the
revitalization of Wildwood Park. Pathways spent the year surveying the wildlife of the
park, mapping the trails, and surveying community opinion about the park. The grant paid
for the Community Design Assistance Center (CDAC) in the Virginia Tech College of
Architecture to take the information and develop a conceptual plan. CDAC worked closely
with Pathways and the City Director for Planning and Community Development. Several rounds
of preliminary proposals were presented for community comment. The Master Plan was
completed in August, 1999 and was approved as a starting concept by Pathways, the Parks
and Recreation Commission, the Beautification and Forestry Commission, and the Radford
City Council. The plan and original drawings are
maintained in the office of Planning and Community Development.

Implementation of the Master Plan
Pathways, the city of Radford, and numerous volunteers have begun
implementing the Master Plan.
We especially need people willing to give of their time and money to
support this effort. Our vision will remain only that -a vision- unless
people are willing to give of themselves to help. All grants require
the citizens of Radford to contribute matching contributions and donation of
their time. Please contact us with your
thoughts, suggestions and contributions. |
