Leonard to Ann Trail Connector

Grand Rapids Parks and Recreation Strategic Master Plan

Planning and fundraising has officially begun on the missing trial link between Leonard and Ann. This gap creates a separation between downtown Grand Rapids and Riverside Park, which then leads to the White Pine trail.

“Closing this gap will connect the City of Grand Rapids to hundreds of miles of uninterrupted trails to the north and west, and create pedestrian underpasses at the bridges on those streets and the Grand Rapids Eastern Railroad line between them. West Michigan Trails and Greenways Coalition is working with the City to handle the private fundraising needed to match state and federal dollars.

The trail connection project is part of the larger Grand Rapids Parks and Recreation Strategic Master Plan. You can find a news article from WZZM 13 here.
