Improvements are underway at the Seymour Lieberman Trail in Memorial Park as part of the Memorial Groves project. Trail users can look forward to a more scenic, shaded route, along with new gathering spaces and fitness stations. The trail will remain open throughout construction, and the three-mile loop will be maintained. Stay up to date by following @memorialparkconservancy . Repost from @memorialparkconservancy • 📢Big changes are coming to the Seymour Lieberman Trail (SLT), and fences will be going up starting tomorrow! These improvements are part of the larger Memorial Groves Master Plan project. A portion of the SLT will be shifted away from West Memorial Loop Drive, creating a more scenic, shaded route for users while adding new grassy gathering areas and fitness stations along the trail. 💡The SLT will stay open during construction and free parking along West Memorial Loop Drive will remain available. The loop will continue to offer a three-mile route, even after construction is complete. As work progresses, visitors may notice a few temporary changes along the trail, including limited access to benches and fitness stations. Water fountains will remain accessible throughout construction. We appreciate your patience and encourage everyone to remain mindful of restricted areas and posted signage while enjoying the trail!
