Crete Park District director Brian Sullivan outlined a future nature trail network to weave through Crete and connect seven parks. The plan builds on a six mile trail already in development and could take five to ten years, depending on funding. The district aims to secure a state grant within 14 months to expand branches, add educational site amenities, and integrate the trail into the village master plan while seeking accessible access points.
