Scheduling Parkway Trail Events: Many groups would like to hold a special event on the Parkway Trail System. While some events are not consistent with the "leisure recreation" emphasis of the trail, many events such as fun runs, special walks, or bird watching events, for example, provide a great way to introduce many to the beauty and serenity of the parkway trail system.
To schedule an event for the Legacy Parkway Trail System, please contact Gary Uresk, chair of the Legacy Parkway Scenic Byway Committee, at 801-292-4421, or email him at guresk@woodscross.com.
