Reviewed 2026-10-22. City’s current trail rules permit bicycles and require sunrise-to-sunset use, a 15 mph maximum, audible passing warnings and counterclockwise bicycle travel on circular trails. The linked 2022 map and 2015 master-plan existing-facility table support material and course identification, not a current all-clear. Observe posted construction and event controls; do not use a road detour. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
