Sycamore Trail Development Project to Honor Westerville's Past

Nature

City of Westerville issued the following announcement on Mar 4.

A half-acre project in development at the northwest corner of Africa Road and Polaris Parkway will build upon Westerville's first-class parks and trails system while honoring the City's past. While the development will feature symbolic elements including a shallow, stream-like water feature, the Big Dipper star constellation, information panels and an installation representing the North Star, an important part of the project is to highlight the significance of the Underground Railroad and Westerville's role during that time period.

To understand this, one must recognize the history and meaning behind Westerville's Africa Road. Catch up on the full story and how this development will impact the City's past and future in the Westerville Community Recreation Guide.
