My name is Ken Coutant, I have been a resident of White Rock Valley for 26 years. Some friends and I have run, hiked and ridden our bikes at Flagpole Hill , north of White Rock Lake for a number of years. We have used the dirt trails on the east side of the park and came up with the idea to expand the trail system into the trees on the northeast corner of the park. No trees will be felled in the expansion, only invasive undergrowth identified by the city forester will be removed and a 12 inch dirt trail will be created. There will be no trail head, In fact, the area as viewed from Lanshire will be the same as it appears today. We have received the endorsement of the White Rock Valley Neighborhood Association and the White Rock Lake Task Force.


If you feel that having a shaded trail to walk, run or bike on in the summer will be an asset to the community, please sign this petition as the City has requested that we give them an example of the community support for this proposal. Also if you could put your street name and city in the comment section. Thank you for your time. I look forward to seeing you on the trails!

I live on Lanshire and would love to see the trail system at Flagpole Hill improved.

We use this trail already when it is not overgrown and would love to see it cleaned up to use through the summer

(9420 Dartcrest Dr.). We think a shaded trail in Flagpole Hill park would be a superb idea. Except for the flat bike trail along White Rock creek (mostly not shaded) there is little in the way of pleasant walking paths in the area.

I have been using Flag Pole Hill for over 63 years & I think it is a great idea. I live at 9319 Locarno in the Lake Highlands area.

I value the beauty of the wooded area within the Northeast area of Flog Pole Hill. I have lived in White Valley for 25 years. I hope to expand the current hiker and biker experience with a shaded trail within this forested area. I treasure this asset in our neighborhood and city. It is my express intent to treat this public asset with care and preserve it for all the future generations of users and indigenous wildlife. I fully support the use of the forested area for this trail.
