Next time you are out exploring the Syracuse-Wawasee Trails, keep an eye out for some fresh new signs along the paths! 🌲🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️

Maintaining our active spaces is just as vital as building new ones. It takes incredible care to manage over 11 miles of trails connecting our neighborhoods and lakes, and K21 is proud to have funded and supported this system each step of the way.

We are deeply grateful for the recognition on the new signage, and we love seeing our community continue to invest so deeply in quality of place!
