“We are certainly very disappointed that we weren’t successful,” said Trail Mayor Mike Martin. “We felt that the project met all perimeters of the program and it’s something that has been on the books for a considerable period of time and we’re just looking for a way to get it done.” Trail submitted an application requesting $350,000 for the estimated $700,000 project, with plans of picking up $280,000 of the price tag that would have been rounded out by the Friends of the Trail Skate Park Society.
