Greenbelt Sundial - Capital Area Greenbelt - Harrisburg PA - USA - Sundials on Waymarking.com

A nice sundial on the Capital Area Greenbelt. Its stands about waist height and is near a stream. It is also near a great spot on the greenbelt. Lots of trails and gardens nearby. The Capital Area Greenbelt Association was formed in 1990 to restore the completed sections of the greenway and complete what hadn't been done. In the past years, it has been accomplished with much volunteer help from the community, supported by various groups, grants and donated materials and equipment. Significant grants obtained in 1999 allowed the 20-mile loop to be essentially completed. There were times in the past when it seemed that maintaining such an extensive linear park with volunteers was not possible. The turning point may have been a confrontation with McDonald's and the county over the proposed siting of a fast food restaurant on the greenbelt. Almost overnight, the greenbelt became an accepted institution and a household word. The completion of additional sections, addition of the Five Senses Garden, and much hard work by many individuals and groups has resulted in greatly increased usage of the greenbelt. There's now no doubt that the Capital Area Greenbelt is and forever will be one of the gems of our Capital City.
