Springfield Trail

WE NEED YOUR FINANCIAL HELP - The Friends of Smedley Park / Springfield Trail has generally been able to accomplish its goals with the help of many volunteers and a bit of good luck. Our annual budget is usually no more than $1,500. We are coming up on our ten year anniversary in January 2027 and have a big project to update the trail signs in the park and along the Springfield Trail. Some have been damaged and many need new maps. Our friends at KC Signs in Aston have kindly offered to complete the project for $9,800. This is a very good price.

We need to ask for your help in raising these funds. If you are able to contribute even a small amount, it would be greatly appreciated. We look forward to keeping the park and trails well maintained for the next 10 years. We have a PayPal account @ Friends of Smedley Park and a Venmo account . Thank you for your continuing support.

June is a time of sunshine and BBQs and outdoor activities. But for the Friends of Smedley and the Springfield Trail, it is a time for weedwhacking the trails to keep them from getting overgrown. A big thanks to Jim, Susan and Bob for helping this morning.

A great day of trail maintenance today along the Springfield Trail behind ETR Middle School, and the Dairy Cottage. Many thanks to George, Matt, Jim, Craig, Bob and Ivan for all the hard work.

REMINDER-Trail Maintenance this Saturday. Join us this Saturday, April 18th, as we tackle the Springfield Trail area from ETR middle school down to the dairy cottage. We will meet at the ETR middle school parking lot at 8:30 AM. If you have clippers or hedge shears or small saws, please bring them. The weather is supposed to be beautiful.

Dear Springfield Trail Friends,

It has been a most unpleasant winter to say the least. The bikers, hikers, joggers, and patrons are looking forward to a most delightsome spring in the upcoming few weeks.

Unfortunately, there has been a lot of damage along Springfield Trail. We continue to thank the bikers who do a lot of clearing of the big logs using chainsaws. I don’t know where we would be without them. We are hoping to have a couple significant trail maintenance events this spring. If you know of any areas along the Springfield Trail, or any of the Smedley trails that are in desperate need of cleanup, please drop me a message.

Please stay tuned on our page for volunteer opportunities to help us over the next couple of months.

We are appreciative of all the help you provide us in keeping the ST strong.
