In November 2021, PAL: Play. Advocate. Live Well, in partnership with
Spartanburg County, received a major grant from the United States
Department of Transportation to build 14 ½ miles of trail, mostly along the
Fairforest Creek, reaching out to the Spartanburg Downtown Airport heading
west and along WO Ezell Boulevard heading east into downtown.
The trail starts in the Arcadia community and crosses the City of
Spartanburg from northwest to southeast, ending at the CC Woodson Community
Center. It passes through the Vanderbilt Hills, Summerhill, Park Hills,
Highland, and South Converse neighborhoods. Along the route is RP Dawkins
Middle School, Jesse Bobo Elementary, Spartanburg Methodist College,
Woodland Heights Elementary, Mary H. Wright Elementary, and Carver Middle
School.
At this meeting, we will reveal the initial trail routing maps. Attendees
will be able to view the routes, ask questions of the designers and make
comments about the trail.
