The plaque honoring Gregory Baderschneider states:
“The Gregory K. Baderschneider Riverwalk Trail
Is dedicated to the memory of Greg Baderschneider, Parks Director for the City
of Mt. Pleasant from 1990 through 2008. After graduating from Central
Michigan University with a BA in Parks Administration, Greg made developing
parkland in the city of Mt. Pleasant and Isabella County his life’s work for
nearly 30 years. Greg’s vision of connecting the community, the Chippewa
River, and public parks became the Riverwalk Trail which will forever remain a
testament to his love for community parks and the great outdoors. Savor the
moment you have been given. Enjoy your journey
and the many vistas along the way. Take time to
smell the flowers and feel the breeze on your face.
Listen to the birds and the flowing water. We
are all just visitors here for a short while.
