Mansfield City Lake will soon receive an asphalt walking trail that will be 3,740 feet long with additional benches along it’s path.
The grant was formally presented to the City of Mansfield on Tuesday, January 23rd where Mayor Austin had previously accepted a check from Blue & You Foundation for a Healthier Arkansas, which is a charitable foundation established and funded by Arkansas Blue Cross and Blue Shield to promote better health in Arkansas.
The City of Mansfield will pay near $10,000 for fees associated with planning, and engineering which will come from the city parks and recreation funds.
Plans for construction are set for April / May of this year.
