Status: In Progress

Location:

The Gene Day Pond project is located on the west end of Gene Day Park in Osburn, Idaho. Gene Day Park is a publicly accessible city park.

Background:

Gene Day Pond was contaminated with mine waste. In 2018, the contaminated soil was removed and the pond was reconstructed for recreational fishing.

Plans:

This project increases safe public access to Gene Day Pond by constructing gravel paths, extending graveled areas along Yellowstone Ave., and creating more parking spaces for standard and ADA parking. A cover will be constructed over the outhouse.

Benefits:

The Gene Day Pond project improves public access and safety in support of recreational access to a popular community fishery.
