Due to the forecast of inclement weather, the Hot Springs Parks and Recreation
Department postponed the launch of Trail Watch until 10 a.m. on Saturday,
May 11 at the Farmer’s Market Pavilion, 121 Orange Street. The launch was
originally scheduled for May 4.
A volunteer-based
program, Trail Watch is designed to provide and model proper trail etiquette and
safety, to assist users in trail navigation, and to provide an official city
presence on the Hot Springs Creek Greenway Trail.
Volunteers will
be equipped with maps, basic first aid kits, and tools to assist with minor
bicycle repairs. Parks and Recreation will supply bikes, helmets, gloves,
lights, tire repair and first aid kits, maps, fanny packs, high visibility
safety vests and emergency contact numbers. Volunteers will supply a cell phone
and an end-of-shift report.
From
now through September 30, Garvan Woodland Gardens will sparkle with the
unique art glass creations of James Hayes splashed across the 210-acre peninsula
on the shores of Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Hayes, a Pine Bluff
native, has created approximately 225 pieces of multi-colored art glass
exclusively for Garvan Woodland Gardens in a myriad of shapes and styles to
amaze and delight visitors to the Gardens. The exhibit will reside in thirteen
areas in the Gardens, with glass creations depicting flowers, onions, mushrooms,
and vines as well as some of James Hayes’ traditional bowls and chandeliers
installed in fanciful settings throughout the beautiful woodlands.
