The East-West Trail
The East-West Trail was first developed in 2001, but was limited to just Elm Park and Newton Hill. It was later expanded in 2015 by the Park Spirit Organization to include 17 different green spaces, spanning 14 miles across Worcester. The trail is the first urban hiking trail in the history of the city and contains a multitude of attractions from historical sites, to fitness components, to even urban folklore.
