The LaVilla Link of the Emerald Trail is now open! ๐ฒ๐ณ
Congratulations to @groundworkjax, @cityofjax, and all who were involved in establishing the Emerald Trail`s LaVilla Link.
This section will serve as the model mile of the trail and will be an incredible asset not just for Downtown Jacksonville, but for the entire Jacksonville community. The LaVilla Link features two overlooks, a rain garden, a butterfly garden, a playground, and beautiful landscaping featuring shade trees and native plants.
Once complete, the Emerald Trail will include over 30 miles of trails within the city and will connect several neighborhoods to the urban core. ๐ผ
Thank you to @baptisthealthjx, @wolfsonchildren, the Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Fund at @cfjacksonville, The Pajcic Family, David & Monique Miller, The Late Bloomers Garden Club and Future Emerald Trail Presenters: @vystarcreditunion, Rotary Clubs of Jacksonville, @swishercompany and the James M. Cox Foundation for helping to create the LaVilla Link and future sections of the Emerald Trail for the Jacksonville community.
