Overview
CHII Grant
Rocky Hill Greenway All Persons Accessible Trail
Rocky Hill Greenway-Nashawannuck Brook is a 106.8-acre former golf course that was in operation until its acquisition in 2019.
We designed an accessible half-mile all-persons soft trail using the previous trail network. With CHII, MassTrails, and CPA funding, we installed accessible docking over existing wetlands
that connected the eastern portion of the trail in the first implementation phase.
