Ironwood seeks funds for playground north of US 2 By RALPH ANSAMI [email protected] IRONWOOD — In the past few years, the city of Ironwood has made vast improvements in playgrounds for youngsters. Now, the city commission would like to expand the effort to north of Cloverland Drive. The city’s comprehensive plan addresses the need for park and playground improvements in the community north of the highway and that is one of the goals listed in the 2017 list of projects the city would like to accomplish. The city has worked with Zion Lutheran Church to obtain own- ership of a parcel of property on the northeast corner of Midland and Lowell Streets, according to city officials. A Michigan Department of Natural Resources Trust Fund Grant will be applied for this year. Similar grants have funded other playground projects in the city, with the most recent being the Depot Park playground. The MNRTF program began under another name in 1976. Act Ralph Ansami/Daily Globe 204 created the Michigan Land THE CHILDREN’S playground at Depot Park is constructed on May 24, as preparations are made for laying sawdust.

City of Bessemer, Michigan Four Seasons of Fun! !

The City of Bessemer was founded and de- veloped as a result of the discovery of iron ore. Area mining began in 1883, and the City began to attract residents by 1885, in- cluding miners who were of Cornish, Irish, Scandinavian, French Canadian, Polish, and Finnish descent. Ore was transported The City of Ironwood recently went through a community branding process to help define and capture the by rail from the Colby open pit mine to the essence of our area. Being “Up North” has a different meaning to each individual person. The City of Ironwood Ashland, WI ore docks. Bessemer’s landscape is crisscrossed by abandoned rail lines serving the numerous and now closed mines. The area was once heavily timbered, supporting a lumber and the Western Upper Peninsula represent the City’s new tag line, “Find Your North”. In Ironwood, a person’s industry. When the mining activity declined, so did the population of Bessemer. In 1966 the “North” may include winter sports such as snowmobiling or , or it could be hiking, mountain biking or last mine in Bessemer was closed. The city has now become a center for winter tourism with ATV’ing in the summer. No matter what different interests we each have, one can experience it by stepping three major downhill ski resorts located nearby as well as opportunities for snowmobiling and right out our back door. Some of the unprecedented things that we have in our area (right out our back door) cross country skiing. The area’s dependable snowfall, terrain, scenic qualities, and accessible are: public lands support the winter tourism economy. The area economy now consists of the serv- ice industry, health care, and small manufacturing. 1. The Iron Belle regional walking/biking trail provides recreational and fitness opportunities for both resi- dents and visitors who choose to hike or bike sections of the Iron Belle trail system, which starts in Ironwood and ends at Belle Isle in Detroit, Michigan. 2.

The City of Ironwood is also the starting point for adventure enthusiasts who travel to our area to experience Honoring our natural playgrounds. Areas such as the Porky Pine Mountain Wilderness Area, the Iron Belle Trail Our Heritage Area, Little Girls Point or Black River Harbor on Lake Superior, an abundance of waterfalls/streams and 4.2 mile non-motorized trail rivers for fishing or canoeing, are all literally right out our back door and easy to get to. from Bessemer to Ironwood.
