By Anna Skinner

The city has just released the report for the parks and recreation department’s second quarter in 2015.

Three major updates reported include new play equipment at Simon Moon Park, paving phase 3 of the Monon Trail and replacing the Midland Trace Trail through Quaker Park.

Another big accomplishment, according to communications director Erin Murphy, was Simon Moon Park being named as one of the top 10 parks in the Hamilton County Family Magazine.

Regarding the future, the parks department is advancing with Grand Junction Plaza plans, extending the Midland Trace Trail to Gray Road and extending the Monon Trail to Ind. 32.

Murphy said that next year, the department plans on replacing the Quaker Park playground with new equipment.

Special events the public should watch out for are two more Movies in the Park (Cinderella on Aug. 28, with an appearance of Cinderella in person, and Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day on Sept. 18), Amigos de Westfield on Sept. 5, Voices From the Past Sept. 11 and 12, Grand Junction Derby and Street Festival on Oct. 3 and Westfield in Lights on Dec. 5.

“Westfield has more trails per capita than any other city in Indiana,” said Parks and Recreation Director Melody Jones. “It is a statistic I am proud of because it represents Westfield’s dedication to the trail system. Westfield is a pedestrian friendly community and as the city continues its growth, pedestrian connectivity remains a priority.”
