Bill Gillespie Nature Trail
The 3,988 feet of nature trail that wraps around the reservoir was renamed the Bill Gillespie Nature Trail on Nov. 9, 2009, in honor of a former council member, resident and volunteer.  Parks staff constructed a memorial sign identifying the Bill Gillespie Nature Trail and dedicated the trail to him on May 21, 2010.
