Madisonville Healthway Unveiled
At the ribbon cutting for the new Trover Health System Wellness Park, an outdoor walking trail with fitness stations, the City of Madisonville, in conjunction with the Community Improvement Foundation and other local partners, unveiled the Madisonville Healthway.
The Heathway utilizes existing sidewalks and pathways to link the City Park to the Trover Health System campus in a route that covers 6 miles. Signage, located at City Park and near Trover's Fitness Formula/Sports Medicine facility, outlines the route the Healthway covers.
The Healthway idea came out of the New City initiative that Madisonville and Hopkins County recently completed.
