Trails & Task Force

The Orange City Parks and Recreation Department would like to form a Community Trails Task Force to examine the City’s pedestrian trails need and then create a Master Plan for future trail development.  Any citizen who has a desire to see new trails developed in and around Orange City would be welcomed. Volunteers need to have a passion for this mission and realize the time commitment will be over the next few years.

If interested in being a member of the Community Trails Task Force, please contact Mitch Aalbers, Parks and Recreation Director, at 712-707-4885 or prdir@orangecityiowa.com.
