Hood River Valley Parks and Recreation District will receive a $5.98 million state grant to purchase about ten acres of property and complete the missing link on the Indian Creek Trail. The district purchased an option to buy what is commonly known as the Campbell property located on Brookside Drive between Providence Brookside Manor and Broken Tee Drive. District executive director Mark Hickox says the grant will allow them to complete the link from Barrett Drive to downtown Hood River, noting this will actually be constructed by the Oregon Department of Transportation. Hickox says they won’t have a timeline for the project until they have discussions with ODOT at the start of the state’s fiscal year starts in October.
