An old sandpit area.
Location
Gateway Park and Preserve is located 1/2 mile north of the City of Marengo, Iowa and occupies a portion of the southern bank of the Iowa River. The project site is 131 acres and includes a 41-acre lake and a 12-acre pond which were created through the excavation of sand and gravel which was used for a concrete business. There is a network of walking and biking trails, that encompass the lake and pond. While still in early development, we hope to be a viable asset to the community, county and surrounding area.
