These new trails were opened for public use on June 3rd, 2006 as a result of a National Trails Day project, in cooperation with the Parks and Recreation Division of the City of Charlottesville and several other area outdoor friendly groups. You can see a full write up of the project on our news page. TO HIKE THE TRAILS: Park near the baseball fields in McIntire Park, and walk past shelter #1 and down the hill toward CHS. Just BEFORE the pedestrian bridge to CHS look for trailheads leading right and left. The trail to the RIGHT will take you to Melbourne Road, to a new connector trail alongside the chain link fence at the football stadium, and on to the old road bed of the Melbourne Loop. The trail to the LEFT leads to a network of four roughly parallel trails through incredibly beautiful forest behind the fire station on the Rt. 250 bypass. If you continue on the creekside trail (the segment farthest away from the bypass), you can walk all the way to Meadowbrook Heights Road and then connect with our Hydraulic Road trail segment.
