Located off Goodpasture Island Road at the northern end of the pond complex, the 10-car <br /> parking lot provides access to a planned loop trail system around the ponds. The parking lot was built by <br /> Delta Construction under a contract designed and managed by the Public Works Engineering and Parks <br /> and Open Space divisions. <br /> The current trail was built with volunteer labor from area <br /> Rotary Clubs. Currently, 1,800 linear feet of path have been `x <br /> constructed between Goodpasture Island Road and Debrick ` <br /> Slough. This is the first leg of a looped path that eventually _ <br /> will encompass 1.3 miles of trail, interpretive signage, and <br /> view points.
