The Oskaloosa Police Association have adopted a mile on the Lacey Recreation Trail and volunteered to trim trees and keep this mile clean. “The Oskaloosa Police Association is a service oriented group and all the activities we provide in the community are for the betterment of our community”, stated Jake McGee, Oskaloosa Police Chief. “We just want to do our part in helping keep the recreation trail safe and more attractive for users” he continued.
The mile of adopted trail location is from Bobzilla’s Bike shop to South M Street. The group, including Jake McGee, Troy Boston, Ben Johnston, Craig Alexander, Brent DeRonde, and Gary and son Will Kutcher, began Monday night cleaning, trimming and clearing this area of trail. The job took two hours for the initial trimming and cleaning and the Association will maintain it at least once a month throughout the season.
