Description

Opened in 1985 as part the Red Line extension from Davis to Alewife, this section was the earliest trail in the area–before the Community Path or Minuteman. As of March 2025, a redesign is expected to begin construction in May 2025.

Improvements include:
* A modest widening of the main path to accommodate its modern usage levels, facilitating safer, more comfortable passing interactions between users and bringing it in line with national design standards for shared-use paths
* Planting over 120 new trees, plus many other plants and a new Miyawaki forest near Russell Field
* Replacing existing dirt desire paths with new stone dust side paths, which will help reduce soil compaction and promote plant growth elsewhere
* Adding/upgrading amenities like trash/recycling containers, seating, water fountains/bottle filling stations, emergency call boxes, and natural play features
* Drainage and irrigation repair/installation, fixing issues like the large puddles/ice patches that form near the entrance
