2. To help insure that future genera-
tions in Salina will have a well de-
veloped park system that everyone
can enjoy, the Salina Tree Advisory
Board and the City of Salina are
establishing the Salina Legacy Park
Fund. This program will enable
private citizens or groups to donate
money for the funding of small park
enhancement projects that will
benefit all park users. These pro-
jects will range from creating small
gardens and landscaped areas to ac-
cessible fishing areas and walking
paths. The type of projects is end-
less, but all will add to the beauty
and accessibility of our park sys-
tem. Each year the Park and Rec-
reation Department with approval
of the Salina Tree Advisory Board
and the Salina Parks and Recreation
Committee will select two or three
projects that could be funded
through the Salina Legacy Park
Fund. Donors will be able to
choose the project they would like
their money to go to. A small brass
leaf will be added to the donor tree
at the City County Building to rec-
ognize each donation and the pro-
ject itself will be signed that it was
funded in part by the Salina Legacy
Park Fund.

Trail Enhancements
Goal: $8,000
Over the last few years, the City
has developed and improved a
number of trails. New trails have
been constructed in Bill Burke and
Indian Rock Parks, and on the
south side of town. The existing
levee trail has been improved in
various areas. However, many of
these areas lack enhancements.
This project area would provide
benches, waste receptacles, and
landscaping to create an enjoyable
place to relax and to enhance the
appearance of the trail.
Entrance at Oakdale Park
Goal: 3,000
This project would completely re-
design the northeast entrance to
Salina’s oldest and most developed
park. This area has long needed
landscaping that would be attrac-
tive and compliment the existing
Oakdale Botanical Gardens. The
use of perennial flowers, shrubs,
and trees, in addition to a new
lighted park sign would make it a
more sustainable landscape.
