GREENSFELDER WORKDAY – FEB. 27TH, 9AM – 1PM

Date: Sat, Feb 27, 2010, 9am to 1pm

Location: Eureka, MO

Join GORC & St. Louis County Parks at Greensfelder Park on Sat, February 27th, 2010 from 9am to 1pm to help build new trail and re-route sections of existing trail at Greensfelder Park.

We will be re-routing a short steep section at the end of the Declue/Greenrock Trail where it ties into the Scenic Loop road.

Come out, work with us in the morning, we’ll serve you a nice lunch, and then we’ll bike or hike afterwards.

How to get there: You’re headed for Greensfelder Park on Allenton Rd. behind Six Flags. You should park at the Tower Lot. Take Interstate 44 to the Allenton/Six Flags Exit 261. Go north on Allenton Rd, past the Six Flags entrance. Allenton Rd. bisects Greensfelder Park. Lunch will be afterward at the Mueckerman Shelter located at the corner of Allenton and Hencken road.

What to bring: Gloves, Sturdy shoes, eye protection, and something to drink on the trail.

What GORC & St. Louis County Parks provide: Trail building tools, instructions on trail building, and safety guidelines.

 

Yellow line represents new trail reroute to eliminate fall line at the end of the DeClue trail. Blue is existing DeClue. Trail in Blue after Yellow line intersecton will be reclaimed back to forest. This will be about a .35-.45 mile piece of new singletrack built to IMBA standards.
