There is an 8K long, elongated oval trail along the parkway between Churchill Drive and the Red River. The trail begins at the pumphouse behind the Churchill Drive / Jubilee Avenue / Cockburn Street South intersection, which is ~1block east of the famous BDI (and the Elm Park Bridge). The trail continues along the parkway until it makes a large loop around the community gardens behind the Riverview Health Centre, and then heads back to the trailhead, also along the parkway. Some areas are well-treed while some is open. The trail is sometimes extended to the Canoe & Kayak Club near Churchill High School.
These trails are groomed by Riverview Jackrabbits volunteers when conditions, including availability of grooming equipment, permits. The trails serve the Riverview Jackrabbits program and community (and other) skiers.

Is there a place to get updates on this other than this…[Read more]
