The Park at Flat Rock, as the former Highland Lake Golf Course is now being called, wasn't just the biggest thing to happen to the village in 2013, Village Administrator Judy Boleman said.Read it all.
"It's also the biggest capital project in the village since we incorporated in 1995," Boleman said, looking out over the 66-acre park last week. Flat Rock residents cherish their trees and open space, she said, "and this park is very much in alignment with that concept."
Village Council agreed in May to buy the former links from Course Doctors Inc. for $1.15 million to protect open space at the village's gateway and create a dawn-to-dusk park with passive features such as walking and biking trails, playground equipment and picnic areas.
The park officially opened to dog-walkers and exercisers Dec. 13, although there are no restroom facilities or amenities, yet. But the village has installed benches, trash cans, signs outlining park rules and a donated doggie waste station. . .
