The Lincoln Prairie Trail will receive a boost thanks to donations from Taylorville Memorial Hospital.  The healthcare provider announced it has donated a bench, storage racks, and repair station to the Lincoln Prairie Trails Conservancy for use on the trail. 

The repair station has tools attached, including a tire pump and hooks.  It will sit on a concrete slab which is also part of the donation.  Jay Boulanger – community health consultant for TMH – says he hopes the new equipment will be helpful for those who use the trail.

The Lincoln Prairie Trail is a 14.6-mile asphalt trail which runs alonside Illinois Route 29 between Taylorville and Pana.  The Taylorville trailhead is at South Paw Paw Street, while the trailhead in Pana is at Magnolia Avenue.
