CORA Blog – Trails

CORA along with project partners Great Parks, Cincinnati Parks, Anderson Township and Anderson Park District worked with Applied Trails Research to plan what is the first large scale multiple ownership natural surface multi-use trail in the region.

The Aylesboro Connector trail on Wasson Way is definitely an unorthodox project for CORA to be working on. Never before have we built a short piece of natural surface trail in an urban environment and a lot of people might be asking why we're doing this.

There’s nothing like a sunny, fair weather day to beckon us outside and into nature. Mother Nature’s call inevitably leads us adventure seekers to the trails we know and love over and over again. And like any enduring, symbiotic relationship, we need to tend to our trail usage in much the same way Mr. Miyagi taught us to wax a car: with thoughtful intention.

CORA is thrilled to collaborate with the City of Dayton, KY, and Groundwork Ohio River Valley to bring this urban trail to life.
