How many times have you wished there was a safe, pedestrian bridge on Stones Crossing Road just east of the School Administration building? The current bridge is old, narrow, and unsafe for students to cross on foot or bicycle. Center Grove Trails is working with a group of people that want to see a pedestrian bridge crossing the creek on Stones Crossing Road so that people can now have a safe way to get to the high school, middle school, and elementary school using the existing sidewalks. The goal is to have the bridge completed by 2013! Keep watching this website for updates to this exciting project for the Center Grove area. |

Center Grove Trails had volunteers at the 3rd Annual Greenways of Greenwood 5K on October, 3, 2009 to help out with pre-registrations, mile markers, and we even had some of our own participating in the race!!! What a wonderful opportunity to show the support for trails in our Greenwood community. This event has grown bigger each year so mark your calendars now for next October. |

As most of you know, Center Grove Trails, Inc. received a grant for $250,000 from Safe Routes to School to build our first trail. This trail will connect Brentridge Estates and Center Grove Elementary School. Thanks to the Johnson County Highway Department and the Center Grove Community School Corporation we look forward to our partnership to see our community's first trail to be built in 2010. Keep checking back on our website for updates! |
