Hey, want to be part of something awesome? The City of Fort Wayne Greenways and Trails team is on the lookout for folks to join as Greenway Rangers and help keep our sidepath trails in top shape.
Oh, and if you’re wondering, a sidepath is just a fancy name for a two-way trail that runs right along the road-think bikes, joggers, and dog-walkers all sharing the lane.
Here’s what you’d be doing as a Greenway Ranger:
- Patrol your own little stretch of trail (half a mile to a mile) once a week from April through October. Winter patrols? Totally your call.
- Notice anything weird—like graffiti, fallen branches, or cracks in the path? Give the Program Manager a quick
shout.
- Track your patrol hours each month. Nothing tricky, promise.
- Pick up litter, clear away small branches, sweep up debris—just the easy stuff. If it’s something bigger, let the
Program Manager know and they’ll handle it.
Featured Sidepath Trail Openings:
- 6-Mile Creek Trail - S. Anthony Boulevard to Fellowship Missionary Church
- Homestead Road Trail - Liberty Mills Road to Aboite Elementary
- Hanna Street Trail - Burns Boulevard to Lafayette Street
