Who can resist this view of our creek going under the old railroad bridge? Renovation of the creek banks was provided by a REAP grant in 1994. |
Located within city limits due to an old railroad annexation, Gilroy Rustic Park is one of the most picturesque spots in eastern Clinton County. |
Fondly referred to as Seng's Shelter which was donated along with abutting land by the Joe Seng family in 2001. The main portion of the park was donated to the City by the Booster Club in 1987. |
