Gorge Park Update: Will the Waterfall Survive?

Published on September 2, 2025

There's a big change coming to Gorge Park that you might want to check out before it happens. In about two weeks, they’re starting a two-year project to remove a whopping eleven football fields' worth of sediment from the waterfall area. So, if you're hoping to enjoy the view, now's the time to go, because who knows what they'll rope off when the construction kicks in. On a different note, we dive into the local crime scene where, surprise, surprise, it turns out crime isn’t actually down, despite what the officials may claim. Oh, and if you're craving Skyway, tough luck; you'll have to drive to Fairlawn now.

Takeaways:
