Longer grass along Medicine Hat’s paths and in parks is intentional, city says
The grass is allowed to grow uninhibited around some of Medicine Hat’s walking paths because the areas are considered environmental reserves, according to a city expert.
Some residents have noticed the grass and weeds are a little taller in certain areas than others.
Dave Genio, manager of parks and recreation, said the city tries to keep those areas as natural as possible, which have benefitted from the rainfall and will soon go to seed.
