Town of Sweden to hold trail dedication ceremony

Tuesday, May 15th, 2012, 11:59am

Walk! Bike! Brockport! Action Group is having a trail dedication ceremony to celebrate the completion of Sweden Town Park Trial. The ceremony will be held on Sunday June 3 at 3:00pm.

The trial is just over two miles long and designed for walking, hiking, Nordic Walking, jogging, cross country skiing, and snowshoeing. The birth of the trail happened in 2009. In the Spring of 2010, members of the Walk! Bike! Brockport! Action Group with the assistance of the Town of Sweden Highway and Buildings and Grounds employees began the work of laying out the trail and installing the trail marker stakes. Trail use began by the end of that year. During 2011, an Eagle Scout candidate constructed a foot bridge over a small stream so that people with disabilities could also use that part of the trail. Materials for the trail's stakes and signs were funded by the Walk! Bike! Brockport! Action Group and the Sweden Community Foundation.
