We're currently working to bring plans for beautification and functional improvements to the Glen Burney Trail and trail head before town council for review.
Some of the highlights of the plan include:
-
Trail safety improvments
-
Audubon Garden for birds and butterflies
-
Mayview Lake overlook with a trellis and pavilion
-
Improvements to Annie Cannon Gardens that will provide a greenspace for yoga, programs, events and games
-
Public restrooms
-
Trailhead entry and signage for the Glen Burney Trail to include historical information, maps, trail difficulty ratings, handicap accessibility and safety considerations.
This is a multi-year project divided into three phases. For 2025-2026 we are focusing on Annie Cannon Gardens, the new trailhead and first 1,000 feed of the Glen Burney trail.
