The Green Hill Park Equestrian Center board has released the plan to upgrade arena footing at the park and is seeking donations to help cover the costs.
The five-phase plan is scheduled to begin this fall with regrading Arena 2 at a cost of $25,000. The project has received $5,000 in Roanoke County Capital Improvement Incentive Fund grant money. Donations also are being collected for this phase. There are a few options for donating to the project.
