Sanderford Road Park Connection at Creech Road

Neighborhood & Community Connections Program

Project Overview

This project is part of the Neighborhood & Community Connections (N&CC) Program. The N&CC Program is an effort to identify, prioritize, and build new, walkable connections to parks and greenways. The N&CC Program was designed to promote health equity throughout the City, using geo-spatial modeling and data analysis to guide investment in those communities which are most at-risk of negative health outcomes and most in need of improved access to outdoor recreation opportunities.

The project includes the construction of a 10-foot wide asphalt trail from Creech Road to the Sanderford Road Park property boundary. A new trail will connect with existing natural surface trail which will be improved and connect with Sanderford Road Park Neighborhood Center. 

This N&CC project is funded through the 2022 Parks Bond Referendum and includes projects that are primarily focused on improving access to both recreation facilities and greenway trails.
