In 2017, the City rehabilitated roughly 300 metres of trails at Cottonwood Island Nature Park.

This year, 240 m of additional trails will be revitalized along with the improvement and extension of walkway railings.

• Trails near the new bridge to Cottonwood Island are being levelled and raised by three feet. Contracted crews have started work and are anticipated to complete the trail upgrades by the end of July.
• The trail section across the bridge by the canoe launch will be levelled and raised by a foot. In addition, new extended culverts will be installed to reduce the effects of flooding season. Work is scheduled to start in the fall.
