Reviewed 2026-10-22. Fresh municipal trail features 62/63 explicitly designate pedestrian/bicycle use and asphalt. The older general park amenity record omits a cycling flag, while the more specific trail layer permits cycling. Their combined 0.26-mile network includes branches/gaps and is not a loop distance. Follow any current posted restriction. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
Map and Directions
Use the named public start and its posted parking signs. The map reference identifies the facility or selected trail area; it is not a surveyed parking stall or navigable route line. Bicycle and e-bike rules can differ; only ordinary bicycle use is established unless noted.
