Rollo McClay Community Park to Wild Cherry Terrace Walk

GaLLT Walk —Rollo McClay Community Park to Wild Cherry Terrace
(distance depends on chosen route)

Park at Rollo McClay Community Park and walk across the playing fields to the walking trail leaving from the northeast corner of the clearing. The second entry to the walking trails is opposite the junction of Horseshoe and Richie Roads.

Follow the trail east through the forest of the Park to Barrett Rd. Note: This short trail is on private property but it is licensed for public use. Stay on the trail, leash pets and respect boundaries.

Turn right on Barrett Rd. and follow to Honeysuckle. Walk Honeysuckle to the end and follow the trail through the forest to Wild Cherry Terrace.

You can return to your car by backtracking or, for a return road loop, turn right from Wild Cherry onto Buttercup and follow it to North Road. Turn right again to Barrett and right to McClay, where you turn left to return to the park.

For a more extensive walk you can connect to trails at the end of Wild Cherry which lead through to Joyce Lockwood Community Park on unsigned trails in forested public lands.
