On Thursday July 12, 2012, 5:30pm, at Loch Haven Park next to Mennello Museum (900 East Princeton St), the Orlando Urban Trail will officially open its first segment from South Lake Formosa Drive to Magnolia Avenue. Following a ribbon cutting ceremony led by Mayor Buddy Dyer, there will be a free community 5K and 1 mile run/walk with nearly 700 residents expected to participate.
Also in attendance will be District 3 City Commissioner Robert Stuart, District 4 City Commissioner Patty Sheehan and MetroPlan Orlando Executive Director Harry Barley.
The entire Orlando Urban Trail will eventually connect from Mead Garden in Winter Park through Downtown Orlando encompassing the Dinky Line and Gertrude’s Walk and then extending southwest to connect with the Shingle Creek Trail and into Kissimmee.
This segment of the Orlando Urban Trail includes landscaping to provide shade and way finding signage to accommodate walkers, bicyclists and skaters.
The trail will serve as an important transportation connection that will eventually link three of the four SunRail stations in the City of Orlando. It will also link Orlando’s Cultural Corridor by connecting the core of Downtown and the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts with Loch Haven Park and its cultural facilities.
