Reviewed 2026-10-22. District/city maps identify the public park and path connection; RTC confirms the roughly 0.6-mile asphalt Post Road course. This is not an extended Rice Road/Chisha Foka circuit, and the park recreation-center walking paths are separate. Current posted work and access controls govern; no same-day all-clear is claimed. 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.
