Waterford Park Shared-Use Pathway Grand Opening 10-4-2016

A large crowd gathered in Waterford Park the evening of Oct. 4, 2016 to celebrate the grand opening of the Shared-Use Pathway Tunnel Grand Opening. Users of the pathway can now travel unhindered from downtown Frederick, underneath RT 15, through Waterford Park and beyond! Joining Mayor Randy McClement, City Planner Tim Davis, Waterford Park improvement coordinator Ginny Brace and member of Friends of Waterford Park (pictured below) were other dignitaries as well as scores of cyclists who can now make use of the extended paved pathway.
