April 13 marks Rails to Trails’ seventh annual Opening Day for Trails. People across the nation will kick off the spring trail season by hitting their favorite trails.

In Pennsauken, a special event is being held that Saturday at Madison Park, located at 38th St. and Chestnut Ave. Held from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., members of the community are invited to stop by and enjoy food, fun, and refreshments with elected officials and community leaders. Several types of standard bike repair will be offered free of charge and a grant for the improvement of the rail bed in Pennsauken will be announced.

Learn about the developing trail project, its future footprint and connections to the Circuit Trails, an 800-mile network of bicycle and pedestrian trails. Once completed, the project will connect people to jobs, communities, and parks in the Greater Philadelphia Region. There will also be an unveiling of a new mural by Candice Lee Smith.
