Poland park upgrades sure to turn heads

POLAND — If you haven’t been to the township park lately, you’ve missed out on improvements.

“All of the roads have been paved,” said Mike Heher, chairman of the township park advisory board.

After years of planning, the park, between Cowden, Moore and Miller roads, opened last year with the Poland Youth Soccer Association playing its games there.

Cowden, which runs off of Struthers Road, as well as Moore Road were paved by Essroc as part of a deal that enabled the company to mine near the property several years ago.

Of the 1.25 miles of trails snaking through the park, about 1 mile has been covered with mulch, said James Scharville, township administrator.

The soccer association plans to build a pavilion that will accommodate between 12 and 15 picnic tables. The association also plans an accessory building there.
