Iron Horse Nature Park Opens In Dublin

DUBLIN, CA — The city of Dublin inaugurated Phase 1 of its newest park, the 12-acre Iron Horse Nature Park and Open Space.

• Informative signs with posts made from the original railroad tracks that run through the area
• A bike repair station near the entrance on Amador Valley Boulevard
• A bench dedicated to community volunteer and cycling advocate Bob Powers
• A new multi-use path
• Seating areas
• Shade Structures

While Phase 1 is complete, much more is coming.
