Manhattan Parks & Recreation announce project lineup; status of rec centers During a monthly appearance on KMAN’s In Focus Monday, Manhattan Parks & Recreation Department Assistant Director Wyatt Thompson spoke of a planned Bike Park project in Frank Anneberg Park to be considered during Tuesday’s Manhattan City Commission meeting. Thompson signified that the joint proposal from local organization Bike/WalkMHK, for a small mountain biking skills course, would come off existing trails at the south end of the park, nearby the kids playground area. “This would be a feature that would have some bumps and some turns and things. So if you’re there with your family, mom and dad could kind of walk on the main path, and the kids could take off on a little side trail and have a little bit of fun,” Thompson said. “We looked at three locations kind of at the south end of the park, the one that we’re going to recommend is south of the roadway, where the trail is along that end and then turns back to the north along the east property line. There’s kind of an open area there, it’s got a few trees, and so this new trail will kind of cut in through those trees and connect back up to the to the trail again.”
