The next time you visit Three Bridges Park walk to it using
the path from the Urban Ecology Center
on Pierce Street. You will see an elegantly arched steel structure that has
been newly placed along the Hank
Aaron State Trail not far from the Valley Passage. On the inside surfaces
of the twin arches you will see the laser-cut names of donors who made the park
possible.
The primary purpose of the arches, which were dedicated recently, is to represent the named
donors—and there are many. But they also symbolize the bridges for which the
park is named, along with the metaphor of that name for a park that owes so
much to so many and means so much to such a diverse constituency....
...Elsewhere in the park it was spring planting
day. A couple dozen volunteers, along with Urban Ecology Center staff members,
braved the heat to plant 900 small potted seedlings along the south edge of the
park where lush vegetation meets a still running railroad.
