Seaside Vacations

North Carolina has generously granted Corolla a $500,000 state grant in order to build a path for walking, jogging, or biking. 

The announcement came last week from Currituck County officials. The cost of the bike path will be one million dollars and the county of Currituck will contribute in the rest.

The bike path will be 10 feet wide and stretch for 1.2 miles.  The path will stretch from Heritage Park to the Coastal Reserve. 

“We’re really excited about it,” said Holly White, senior planner in the Currituck Planning Department. “Right now there’s nothing there, so people are riding bikes and moms are pushing strollers along the side of the road.”  “The park will be about three quarters of a mile down and will have a water fountain, picnic tables and a pavilion,” White said. “The path will be landscaped and we’ll plant trees wherever there isn’t any vegetation.”

This is exciting news for visitors in the summer who love Corolla.
