“Bringing the Reed Creek Blueway parks to life has been a community effort years in the making. As someone passionate about outdoor recreation, I’m especially excited to see more people getting out on the water and enjoying everything Reed Creek has to offer.”

The locations are already open for public use, but a grand opening and ribbon-cutting event will be held to celebrate the completion of the project. It will be held on Friday, June 6, at 12 p.m. at the Kents Lane Portage Park.
