When it opens next fall, Phase 1 of Glass City Metropark will have trails, a boardwalk extending over the water, a new rental facility with a green roof and observation area, and a large event lawn. A bike/pedestrian bridge over Main Street will connect the new Metropark with International Park. Still more amenities are envisioned for future phases.

The citizens of Copenhagen have adapted bicycles to carry groceries, children, and other essentials. Natalie Gulsrud, a resident of Copenhagen, said “People here say there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.” Read more about this in the New York Times article.
