East Bay regional parks and trails are for everyone, whether you walk, ride, or roll. For the past few years, the Park District has been working with a Trail User Working Group (TUWG) made up of active trail user stakeholders to provide feedback and concerns regarding trail use, including trail safety, trail connections, and trail enhancements and maintenance. The Park District received valuable input from the group, including the strong desire for more trail user education. Over the coming months, visitors will see expanded park signage and other communications as part of a “Trails Are for Everyone” educational campaign.
