Last week we not only celebrated the completion of a new trailhead on the Hanna Street Trail, but we also celebrated JOY!

If you’ve attended a Fort Wayne Trails event over the last 10 years, there’s a good chance you’ve met Joy. In honor of her decade of service to Fort Wayne Trails, we planted four trees and dedicated them as “Joy’s Grove.”

We can’t wait to watch these trees grow and provide a beautiful shaded space for trail users for years to come.

If you see Joy out on the Hanna Street Trail, be sure to say hello!

Yesterday we celebrated the completion of the Hanna Street Trail and the James Redmond Trailhead! This 4.5 mile trail connects thousands of residents through the heart of Fort Wayne, creates a 13 mile loop, and gives access to 19 schools and 20 parks within a half mile!

** Update - This took place last night at approx 9:50pm and was done by a large amount of fireworks.

Over the weekend someone decided it was a good idea to blow up the recently placed porta potty at the Shoaff Road Trailhead. This is extremely frustrating as this unit will have to be replaced at the cost of several thousand dollars, not to mention its gross.

When trail users talk to us about bathrooms in more remote areas we listen, we work with the municipality to hopefully fund placement of these so that there are more options. Situations like this make it very difficult to continue the placement of portable restrooms further out on the network as it expands. The Allen County Highway Department worked with us on this location and graciously added this additional restroom to the network.

If you have any information about this vandalism please contact us directly at 260-969-0079.

Hi Friends! We could still use a few volunteers for the Fort Wayne Trails Golf Classic coming up this Friday.

10:30am - 12 noon - Help with driving sponsors out to holes to set up. You get to drive a golf cart and who doesn't love to do that!

2:30pm - 5:30ish (probably earlier) - Hole in One monitor. Hang out at a hole on the course and be a witness for hole in ones. Golfers have a chance to win a 2 year lease on a truck and we have to make sure they are being honest boys and girls!

4:30pm - 5:30pm - Clean up help! Take the stuff, put it in the truck! Easy Breezy.

If you are interested in helping you can sign up at this link! Thanks all! https://fwt.donorwrangler.com/volunteerevent.php?id=50
