Terra Lake Project
The City of Johnston is taking a decommissioned retention lagoon and turning it into a beautiful eight acre fishing lake that will be surrounded by a great lawn for concerts and games, an open air civic shelter for large gatherings, a picnic pavilion, smaller shelters, a fishing pier, trails, children's play structures that will be handicap accessible, and numerous native plantings.
Plans are also in the works for an addition to the adjacent Crown Point Community Center to add more programming space for the City's Senior Programs, and to introduce new outdoor educational and experiential learning programs. In addition, soft trails will be developed within the adjacent Beaver Creek Natural Resources Area to accommodate walkers and runners who want to get off the hard trails. These will double as the perfect spot for cross-country skiing in the winter!
