Updates to Trenton Walks! For the Winter Months

Four more informative, exciting and healthy walks are planned through March by Trenton Walks! This is a program launched last spring featuring walks throughout Trenton. Sponsored by the Trenton Green Team, with the support of the Circuit Coalition’s Mercer County Action Team, the community engagement program features walks in and around New Jersey’s capital city on different days at different times of the day.

Please join us!

Sat., Feb. 1 – Walkers will get a taste of Chambersburg and Villa Park on this Saturday morning walk that starts at 9:30 a.m. at Unity Square (formerly Columbus) Park. Walkers will move on to Villa Park, then loop back to Unity Square Park, celebrating the Chambersburg and Villa Park neighborhoods. Leading the 1.9 mile walk will be Becky Taylor and Tim Brill, co-chairs of the Trenton Walks! and Shereyl Snider, community engagement lead for the East Trenton Collaborative.

Wed. Feb. 19 – This walk will focus on plans for the Capital City Park and the exciting NJ 29 Redevelopment Project. The 2.4-mile walk will leave from HUB-13 at 13 W. Front Street at noon and explore Capital Park and the NJ State House area on the way to the waterfront, south of Calhoun Street, for a new perspective on the beautiful Delaware River. Jacque Howard, media guru with Trenton365, and Zeke Weston, policy coordinator for New Jersey Future will be joined by Jay Watson, NJ Conservation Foundation senior fellow for conservation justice.

Saturday, March 1 – This is second walk with a focus on the Assunpink Greenway and Redevelopment to be led by J.R.

The walk will start at 9:30 a.m. at the East Trenton Collaborative Center, 601 N. Clinton Avenue, and it will end there at approximately 11 a.m. Participants will walk along the Assunpink Greenway and Enterprise Avenue to the Hamilton Township border past a series of redevelopment sites in various states of remediation.

Wed., March 19 – This 2.5-mile walk, co-hosted by the Mercer County Planning Department and Trenton Walks! features the Delaware River starting at noon at the Old Trenton Wharf next to Coopers Riverview at 50 Riverview Plaza. The route takes walkers along the river behind the Trenton Thunder Arm & Hammer Baseball Park and along South Riverwalk Park to the Marine Terminal Park and back. Optional lunch at Cooper’s Riverview to follow. Leading the walk will be Cindy Taylor, land preservation coordinator for Mercer County Planning, and Tim Brill, co-chair of Trenton Walks!
