Trailblazing at the San Diego Park and Rec 2025 MLK Day Celebration.
We’re coming to the Celebration.
We will be at the celebration 11am-4pm because want our community to help us create a walking path that celebrates Encanto’s culture and diversity.
Why This is Important
• Health & Mental Well-being: A well-designed, walkable space promotes physical activity and mental health for everyone in the community.
• Environmental Impact: Revamping the trail with eco-friendly features will support sustainability and reduce pollution.
• Community Connection: By bringing people together, the trail will become a hub for art, culture, and performances, strengthening local ties.
• Where is the Trail Located?
The trail begins at the entrance to the Valencia Business Park and ends at 54th street.
• Current Condition: Overgrown with weeds, graffiti, and broken fences, creating safety hazards.
• Nearby Landmarks: The trail runs along the creek, near the post office and trolley tracks, making it an accessible spot for the community.
• Why It Needs Change: It’s become an environmental hazard and is unsafe due to fire risks and neglect. We need your help to make it a space that benefits everyone!
