Open trailsstart with a plan.

Storm damage and safety closures happen. But when trails remain closed for months or years, the public deserves to understand the path forward.

What’s the plan?

  • What’s keeping the trail closed?
  • What needs to be done?
  • What progress has been made?
  • When will it be reassessed?
Thank you to the park staff who work hard to keep us safe and our parks open.

We’re asking for three things:

Clear information

Tell us what’s closed and why.

Real progress

Tell us what’s being done to fix it.

A path to reopening

Tell us when it will be reassessed and what remains before reopening.

Safe closures when needed. Clear information always.
Our trails. Our parks. Ours to enjoy.
