Edgewood Park’s trails got easier to navigate — and nicer to view — this week with the help of a crew from the city’s summer Youth@Work program.

The four-person crew, led by University of New Haven marine policy major Austin Frank, helped Friends of Edgewood Park clear overgrowth from trails. They also painted a wooden retaining wall up the hill that leads from the park road to West Park Avenue.
