Below the bridge, a leisure trail encompasses a nature-focused children’s play area ready for active children and benches for those who want to relax. A bike hub/fix-it station east of the promenade is available for cyclists who need to make repairs, inflate tires, fill water bottles or take a break. The new library garden, where the Columbus Metropolitan Library - New Albany Branch plans to hold storytime and special events when the weather cooperates, is also ready to be put to good use by residents seeking a scenic spot to read or relax. Several project elements, including narrowing Dublin-Granville Road and adding leisure trails, were completed four months ahead of schedule before the school year began in August. A few park features will be completed this spring, including the birch walk that will form an enchanting path linking the library garden to the natural creek area.
