Sandy Springs has officially opened a new trail that promises to better connect the community. According to a recent announcement on the city's website, the Springway Trail ribbon-cutting ceremony took place last Friday, marking the completion of the project's first segment. This new feature spans 1.88 miles and provides residents access to the Chattahoochee River, stretching from Roswell Road to Morgan Falls Overlook Park at Cimarron Parkway.
At the inauguration, Sandy Springs Mayor Rusty Paul was quoted celebrating the occasion, "What a special day for our community as we officially open the first segment of the Springway Trail – a major step forward in connecting people, parks, and neighborhoods right here in Sandy Springs," he told the City of Sandy Springs. The trail marks to not only cater to recreational needs but also to weave a tapestry of community throughout the city.
The Springway Trail is a result of multi-organizational cooperation, including The Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Program, PATH Foundation, and Sandy Springs Conservancy. This first completed installment is part of the city's 2019 Trail Master Plan. The trail features a wide paved pathway, allowing for diverse use, and is complemented by aesthetic additions like a boardwalk across Orkin Lake, bridges, and signage.
During the opening, Jack Misiura, the Chairman of the Sandy Springs Conservancy, along with other local leaders expressed their support for the initiative. “Let’s walk this path together—literally and figuratively—as we continue building a vibrant, healthy, and accessible city for everyone,” Mayor Paul advocated, encouraging residents to actively use the new public amenity, as reported by the City of Sandy Springs.
For locals eager to explore the Springway Trail or for anyone seeking further information, details can be found on the city's official website.
