Outdoor enthusiasts in Plymouth can finally fully enjoy the Northwest Greenway trail system, with its last segment now open after the recent completion of phase six. According to a segment on CCX Media's Mayor's Minutes, the new addition spans .37 miles, featuring paved trails, two boardwalks, and a new rest stop with amenities for weary trekkers. Residents looking to explore the complete trail can find more information on the city's website.
On the community events front, the Plymouth History Center is about to get festive with its Merry Market event, running from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday, Dec. 6. Local vendors are slated to showcase their crafts and goods at the market, which promises to be a day of artistic delights and holiday shopping. The full scoop can be easily learned at the city's special events page.
The season's merriment extends to the Hilde Performance Center, with its dazzling holiday lights display now lit for the public. These lights are meant to brighten evening walks, available to view from dusk until the close of the holiday season, and best of all, the sightseeing won't cost you a penny.
Adding a magical twist to the holiday are Santa's Mailboxes, now accepting letters from children eager to reach the jolly fellow up North. Until Dec. 15, these letters can be dropped off at a few select locations, including Plymouth City Hall. Organizers assure a reply to all letters, provided they include a self-addressed, stamped envelope, ensuring the seasonal exchange is smoothly completed.
With winter's chill setting in, the Plymouth Community Center Fieldhouse dome offers residents a warm respite with its indoor track for walking and jogging—free of charge during select hours. The Fieldhouse calendar, available online, details the full schedule and allows visitors to plan their visit around the fluctuating indoor temperatures, which can range from 30-55 degrees.
The Fieldhouse dome also doubles as an open play space for several sports. Available during set morning hours throughout the week, the indoor play area comes at a minimal cost for Plymouth residents and a slightly higher fee for non-residents. However, it's worth noting that open play may be occasionally canceled due to special events or maintenance, so it's advised to check the latest schedule updates online before heading out.
