Build a New Trail at Country Club Creek Greenbelt
austinparks.givepulse.com
Saturday, November 3rd, 2018 from 9:00am to 1:00pm
Save Barton Creek Association and the Austin Ridge Riders will do trail work on the Country Club Creek Greenbelt. This is a new trail near downtown Austin. There will be about 4 miles of trail when it is done.
What we’ll do:
We will be building new trail. Trail has been flagged and needs to be cleared. If there are enough volunteers we will also be cleaning up trash.
We will be doing tread work and armoring the tread. There will be some people cutting weeds. Wear closed toes shoes and work / weather appropriate clothes. Children are OK with parental supervision. There is poison ivy and mosquito everywhere so cover up if you are allergic. …
Finally a trail that is open!!!!!

Parks Of Aledo dissipates the water better and has been open a few more days and just last night the WMBC announced its OPEN for riding!!!! YEAH!!!!!! …
