We’re excited to share an update on the incredible trail work completed this spring! Thanks to the dedication of our SWAT trail crew and the volunteers who joined us for the April, May, and June monthly workdays, we’ve made significant improvements across the trail network.
Their hard work has enhanced sections of the Elmdale, Oakdale, Lower Turtle Back, Zoo Loop, Lower Rahway Extension, Lenape (between Balls Bluff and Openwood Trail), NW Dogwood Connector, and River trails—making them more sustainable and enjoyable for all.
A special shout-out goes to John Martinko and his Eagle Scout project team for constructing eight water bars on the West Ridge Trail. Their contribution plays a crucial role in preventing erosion and preserving trail quality.
Get Involved with Trail Work!
If you enjoy hiking our trails and want to help care for them, consider joining one of our group trail work days. Our monthly trail work teams meet on the first Sunday morning of each month through December 7 (note: the next session is July 13 due to the July 4th weekend).
It’s a great way to give back, spend time outdoors, and meet others who care about our park.
