The City of Dallas Park and Recreation hosted a ribbon cutting Saturday, Oct. 21 to welcome the first portion of the Trinity Forest Spine Trail. This trail is part of The Loop Dallas’ work to connect the city with a 50-mile pedestrian path.
With collaboration from the City of Dallas, Dallas Park and Recreation, Dallas County, Texas Department of Transportation, private donors and corporate partners, The Loop Dallas has been able to provide a green space to increase access to public transportation with “a focus on equity.”
“Building a reliable trail through the White Rock Creek Floodplain will turn this overlooked corridor into one of the most significant greenbelts in North Texas, activating green space as trail users marvel at the beauty of historic trees and the waterways of White Rock Lake and the Trinity River,” a press release from Philip Hiatt Haigh, Executive Director for Circuit Trail Conservancy and The LOOP said.
