About Me

Name:

Rotary Park is a county-owned natural park in Clarksville, Montgomery County, Tennessee. It consists of two adjoining tracts of land that make up about 95 acres of mostly undeveloped, wooded land. There is one park entrance/exit that is paved and runs to the back of the park. There are three pavilions along the roadway with the largest being at the road's end. Rotary Park has an extensive trail network and is open to hikers and bikers. The new push for extensive trail work is necessary because most trails were improperly built by ATVs and motorcycles. Motorized vehicles are now banned from the park. Furthermore, the trails are showing signs of serious erosion. Most recently, a large amount of sustainable trail located outside of the park's boundary has been taken by development. The Friends of Rotary Park is dedicated to restoring and improving the park. Those interested in joining Friends of Rotary Park can do so by contacting Chris Clark at 931-801-3898. Dues are $25.00 for a family membership.

Conservation Board Meeting

Dear Friends:
The Montgomery County Conservation Board is meeting at 5:00 p.m. on December 8, 2005, on the 3rd floor of the old courthouse. At the meeting, the county will be voting on park rules as well as making decisions on what to do about repairing the park post-tornado. Friends of Rotary Park will have representatives there on your behalf to lobby for a speedy and quality recovery of the park. The county is expecting to hear from our group and has asked that we elect only one or two representatives to voice our concerns. If you have any special concerns that you would like brought up at the meeting, please feel free to e-mail them to me at cgclark10@hotmail.com. Either J.R. or myself will present our concerns to the board.
