Happy Trails is the name of our park staff and volunteer collaboration to help keep the trails (over seven miles) in tip-top condition for all guests to enjoy throughout the changing seasons. This is a monthly on-call, volunteer event and green space initiative to better the park experience for all.
The goal of these fun and interactive events is to clear and tidy overgrowth, move logs, trim corridors, pick up debris, blow trails, and keep these trails open and accessible.
