PARKS AND TRAILS OF HEATH
PATH PROGRAM
MISSION: To engage Heath citizens, local organizations and businesses in creating a high quality park and trails system.
PARKS AND TRAILS OF HEATH (PATH) MOVES FORWARD WITH NEW INITIATIVE
The PATH Story
PATH was launched by the City of Heath Park Board in 2019 to unite citizens in creating the parks, trails and green spaces to increase the quality of life and community vitality of our premier, lakeside open space community.
PATH FORWARD… CONNECTING HEATH
PATH’s early accomplishments illustrate what citizens and businesses can do when united around a common goal…expanding the Parks and Trails system to benefit residents today, and tomorrow.
Connectivity through trails and sidewalks, green space and parks fosters…
- Health and Wellness
- Economic Strength
- Higher Property Values
- Transportation Choices
- A Sense of Place
- Community Identity
Numerous studies document that home values near a park, greenway or recreational area can be 8 to 20% higher.
2024/2025 PATH Projects
With a crystalized focus on citywide walkable/bikeable connectivity, new PATH projects include phased trail connections and amenities to build out a complete system. Phase 1 includes:
- Trail connection from FM 740 around RHHS to Cuny Blvd
- New trail from FM 740/550 to Amy Parks Elementary
- Trail connection from Stoneleigh to Falcon Point
