Southwestern Public Health along with Active Elgin, Doug Tarry Homes, Hayhoe Homes, and the City of St. Thomas will be holding an official opening of the new trail system this Saturday with their “Trails Open Event.” The event that will be running from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Pinafore Park, Waterworks Park, and The St. Thomas Elevated Park, will celebrate the 5 year partnership that has seen construction or improvements done to nearly 30 km’s of trails throughout the City.
Pinafore Park will be the main hub of celebration with activities including guided nature hikes, inflatables for the kids, outdoor family yoga, outdoor play demonstrations, a superhero walk, and musical entertainment taking place throughout the day, all free of charge.
Health Promoter with Southwestern Public Health Jessia Lang says the event is meant to encourage people to get outside and explore the new trail system.
