Reviews
Very nice trail, quiet and beautiful.
New things are always being worked on at the trail that connects behind FDR,Head Sculpture by John Shahn and ends on Tamara Dr. Cause that one has the Empty Box Brook,which means the trail needs more maintenance. It is also my favorite part of all the many trails.The is a new 10 by 10 deck on that trail.It is perfect for yoga, playing music and dancing, I would assume.I use it for stretching and I was always taking my shoes off ,as not to get it dirty/ muddy..but..alas ,it is both now. But still..there it is..in the woods..along with a chalk board! Both are on opossite sides of the trail.Chalk board nearest to the Head & painted benches ,the Stage,in the clearing at the painted chairs towards Tamara. The other trails are wonderful.Lots of animals. The trails are dry. Shoes will stay clean Good drainage. Welcome to Roosevelt 1936
this is a great trail. states right past Roosevelt’s statue area. it can get muddy after rain. this trail has a few cool looking benches along the way. I saw and heard all kinds of birds. I noticed that I wasn’t getting bitten to death by bugs but was in a marshy type of area. looking around I saw there were mosquito dunks around. those things must work very well. I came across very nice people walking on the trail. I’m not sure where to park for the trail but I parked back behind school lot.
Interesting history to the community of Roosevelt. Nicely maintained waterside path.
