The Metroparks of the Toledo Area are developing a plan to connect The University Parks Trail with Chessie Circle trails.
A plan recently approved by the Lucas County Commission will extend the west end of the University/Parks Trail 0.6 miles from where it currently ends at King Road to Silica Road.
Now, the Metroparks and Commissioners are working to submit a Clean Ohio Trail Fund application, which would cover 75 percent of the estimated $250,000 cost of the project. This move is part of a larger plan to develop a network of recreation paths connecting our parklands.
