On today’s show, we talk with Active Living director Matt Pryde about a new parking lot to be constructed this month on Charlotte Street, at the head of a trail into Quarry Park. The lot will hold five to six cars, says Pryde, and give access to a crushed gravel path leading to a viewing platform looking down into the quarry. The rest of the one kilometre trail is “meant to be kind of a wilderness, rough trail,” says Pryde, which will zig-zag through the property. The Charlotte Street portion provides an “accessible option, so that people can come in and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the quarry property.”
