Jewel Moore Nature Reserve
Check out the Jewel Moore Nature Reserve on the Univeristy of Central Arkansas campus right here in Conway. The Reserve occupies about 8 acres at the southern end of the UCA campus and has about a 1/2 mile of trails (with benches) that pass through the Reserve that includes 5 acres of virgin shortgrass prairie and 3 acres of mature woodland. The nature reserve is described as virgin prairie surrounded by three and one half acres of bottomland hardwood ecosystem that includes southern red oak, sweetgum and climax forest. In addition to the varied plant life, the reserve is home to numerous animals. It even has a creek meandering through it .

Are you ready for ROUNDABOUTS?
As many drivers and others are aware, the city of Conway in recent months completed construction of its first roundabout as part of the city street system. Another is in process at Bob Courtway and Siebenmorgen. And more are coming. One is planned for Western Avenue at Prince Street and two are slated for Harkrider—one at its intersection with Siebenmorgen and the other at Winfield. If you would like to prepare yourself for the roundabout experience or just become more knowledgeable about roundabouts, follow this link http://www.mnltap.umn.edu/publications/videos/ModernRoundabouts/ to a video produced and funded by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) and the Local Road Research Board (LRRB). Another informative video from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety can be found at http://www.iihs.org/research/qanda/roundabouts.html.

Parks: YBMA and Girls Softball Master Plans . . . 
With a groundbreaking ceremony held on June 4, construction is officially underway on City of Colleges Park, the new girls softball complex at Siebenmorgen Road and Bob Courtway Drive. Construction on Conway Station Park, the boys sports complex at the site of the former YBMA fairgrounds, will probably start in Spring 2009. Boys activities will be scheduled at City of Colleges Park for 2009 while Conway Station Park is under construction. Construction on both facilities should be complete by Summer 2010. Click on the links above to view the master plan for each facility. In its meeting on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, the Conway city council passed resolutions naming both new sports complexes. Those names are as shown above—City of Colleges Park for the girls softball complex and Conway Station Park for the boys sports complex.
