CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — One park in Montgomery County is getting some upgrades made from unique materials.

The Clarksville Parks and Recreation Committee is working with Austin Peay State University students to get creative with the project.

Crews will build benches made from recycled windmill blades in Valleybrook Park.

If that's not cool enough, Austin Peay students will design and paint artwork on the benches.

The benches will be installed all around the park, which is also adding a long-awaited pedestrian bridge across the Red River.

This particular upgrade to the park has been six years in the making, according to parks officials.

The bridge installation was delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic and other issues.

Construction of the bridge will start on July 7 and is expected to be done in March of next year.
