> Hollow Rock Park/New Hope Preserve Community Input Meeting
> 
> 
> There's a "community input meeting" on the master plan for the new Hollow
> Rock Park on the western edge of Durham County, near New Hope Creek.
> 
> It's set for next Thursday evening, February 28th, at the New Hope
> Improvement Association. This is on Whitfield Road west of Erwin Road, next
> to the division of Duke Forest which surrounds New Hope Creek.
> 
> There will be overview presentations at 6 and 7 PM, with lots of pointing at
> maps and talking about things in between those events. You might just find
> out about a new hiking trail or two.
> 
> A committee of area citizens and elected officials has been meeting since
> last summer to draft this plan for the assemblage of land along Erwin Road
> protected in the last 2-4 years by Durham and Orange Counties and by the
> municipalities of Chapel Hill and Durham. Much of it used to be part of Duke
> Forest: the largest piece, a tract of 43 acres, was saved from imminent
> subdivision development by a remarkable regional grassroots fundraising
> effort, together with large contributions from the Counties and smaller ones
> from the cities. 
> 
> As it's shaping up, this new two-County park will offer a major new access
> to the sizable New Hope Creek open space downstream from Erwin Road. If
> you're looking to help shape an exciting new outdoor recreation site, this
> is a great opportunity.
