Valley Park Trail Closure

Valley Park Trail will close starting the week of July 7, for construction of the River to River Greenway trail segment between Marie Avenue and Lilydale Road. This will be a hard closure for the remainder of the summer, as crews will be replacing multiple bridges along the trail. Until construction begins, the trail remains open for public use; however, please note that conditions are poor in some areas, including gravel sections, and users should exercise caution.
