Description
Farmington Community Center has sponsored the "Tour of Farmington" cycling event for the past eight years. All Proceeds from this annual event support the Farmington Nature Park, which is an exciting new resource located on the property owned by FCC. The 63 acre Park currently has a hiking/biking/fishing trail and future plans for the park include a disc golf course, civic camping site, a cycling "pump track", and expanded walking and biking trails.
The original land owners, Louis and Martha Smith, envisioned "that the land be preserved, not developed, and that it would be open as a public park where kids could play as he did when it was his grandfather's farm and that it would be open for everyone of all ages to enjoy".
