FARGO — "What will be a new regional recreation area in southwest Fargo is beginning to take shape.

"The Fargo Park District has received a more than $520,000 Outdoor Heritage Fund grant from the North Dakota Industrial Commission for its portion of the Southwest Pond Regional Recreational Area.

"The grant program is funded with oil and gas production tax revenue and supports projects related to outdoor sporting, stewardship practices, fish and wildlife preservation and outdoor recreation areas, the district said.

"A partnership between the park district and city of Fargo, the project stretches from 52nd Avenue South to 64th Avenue South between Veterans Boulevard and a farm field off 45th Street.

"Park Director Tony Schmitt said it includes 160 acres of park land to be restored to upland prairie and wetlands, providing habitat for deer, pheasants, ducks and other migratory birds.
Nature trails and concrete trails will weave alongside a sprawling, 40 acre pond."

[...]

"The land will be seeded with native grasses and flowers, Schmitt said. Benches and interpretive signs offering information about the surrounding environment will go up and trails will go in."
