Posted on Apr 16, 2013 by jeff
You are invited to attend a public meeting this Thursday, April 18 at 6:00 pm at the Laman Library to learn about the Remedial Investigation the US Army Corps of Engineers will be performing in BURNS PARK beginning this May.
As some of you may be aware (based on our signs at some of the trail heads), Burns Park was formerly part of Camp Robinson and Camp Pike. The area was used as training grounds during World War I and World War II. Some ordnance clearing was performed before the property became what is now Burns Park. In recent years, several ordnance remnants have been found in the park prompting the Corps to perform this Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study of Burns Park and two other areas in central Arkansas.
