It was identified during the Duncan Park Revisioning Plan as a priority by a steering committee of nearby residents and stakeholders, and now for the first time in decades, Duncan Park Lake is open to non-motorized boating and catch and release fishing. The new change comes on the heels of other improvements recently made to the park, including removal of invasive species and trails improvements, also identified in the revisioning plan that was spearheaded by PAL: Play, Advocate, Live Well in partnership with the City. Today on the podcast, we're talking with City Parks, Recreation, & Special Events Director Kim Brown and PAL Executive Director Laura Ringo about the process to open up the lake and what may be next for Duncan Park.

SALUDA, N.C. (FOX Carolina) - The Saluda Grade Trail was awarded a $450,000 grant; it is one of four projects throughout Appalachia to be selected for one. The Appalachian Regional Initiative for Stronger Economies, a part of the federal Appalachian Regional Commission, provided the grant. The Saluda Grade Trail is a 31-mile rail trail that will travel through the Piedmont countryside before climbing into the mountains along the route of the historic Saluda Grade railway. Non-profit organizations Conserving Carolina; PAL: Play, Advocate, Live Well; and Upstate Forever are spearheading the development of the trail.
