Popperton Biking Trails Area Size: 6+ acres of grassy slopes Objective: Develop 1-2 miles of bike-only trails for short loops and skill development intended for beginner and intermediate riders, including trails for riders on adaptive cycles. Popperton Hiking Trails Area Size: approx 8 acres Objective: Create a meandering and aesthetically-pleasing foot-traffic-only trail serving walkers and joggers, and which connects with the perimeter walking path - and potentially the nature trail in Spring Gulch - to create a smaller loop or loops. Spring Gulch Nature Trail Area size: 1-2 acres Objective: Create a short nature trail that starts and ends where Spring Gulch intersects Popperton Park Way. The trail can descend into a water retention basin and head up the gulch, making a small loop in this wooded ravine. The trail should avoid removal of woody vegetation… some very rare specimens exist in this ravine. This nature trail will primarily be used for interpretation and trail width should be narrow.

Objective: Create a meandering and aesthetically-pleasing foot-traffic-only trail serving walkers and joggers, and which connects with the perimeter walking path - and potentially the nature trail in Spring Gulch - to create a smaller loop or loops.

Spring Gulch Nature Trail

Area size: 1-2 acres

Objective: Create a short nature trail that starts and ends where Spring Gulch intersects Popperton Park Way.
