The city of Fayetteville will hold the grand opening of the 4. 4-mile long Scull Creek Trail from 11 a. m. to 2 p. m. Saturday at Gordon Long Park.
The event will include live music by Bent Grass Green, grilled hot dogs and veggie burgers, and door prizes including a New Belgium cruiser bike. The door prizes and ribbon-cutting ceremony will start at noon with guided walking and biking tours of the new trail to follow.
The Fayetteville Alternative Transportation and Trails Master Plan identifies Scull Creek Trail as the “ backbone” of the 129-mile planned trail system. Scull Creek Trail will connect to the existing 1. 9-mile long Mud Creek Trail — creating a continuous 6. 3-mile trail.
Scull Creek Trail was constructed by the city of Fayetteville’s in-house trails construction crew. The nine-member construction crew works exclusively on constructing trails under the design guidance of the city’s trails coordinator.
The 2006 voter-approved trails bond program has provided much of the funding for Scull Creek Trail. Since the creation of the trails construction crew in late 2005, more than 12 miles of multiuse trails have been built in Fayetteville.
