ANOTHER SECTION OF TRAIL SYSTEM IS NOW OPEN!
A second section of walking/biking trail is now open in Oxford, from West Clark Street to Moore Street, connecting with the trail behind Old Church which runs from Soule to West Clark. The Newton Trail/Path Foundation built the trail with generous donations of land from private citizens, land easements from Oxford College, and financial contributions from Oxford College, the City of Oxford, and a number of citizen donors. DONATIONS FOR TRAIL ARE STILL BEING ACCEPTED! A donation sufficient to build an 8' by 8' section of trail entitles the donor to an engraved brick on that section.
