Centennial Trail Groundbreaking

The City of Lewisville will hold a public groundbreaking event for the Centennial Trail on Saturday, May 17, 10 a.m., Central Park, 1899 Edmonds Lane, as part of its year-long Centennial Celebration.

The development of the Centennial Creek Hike and Bike Trail Extension is part of an overall vision to create a community that provides residents with accessibility to our parks, trails and open space preserves within a 10-minute walk of their front door.

The trail will connect with the existing Timber Creek Trail, which runs from the westmost boundary of Lewisville to Central Park. This segment of trail being constructed runs east along Timber Creek to Corporate Drive.  It is identified as a priority segment of the planned trail system and is a key component to meeting goals established in the Lewisville 2025 Big Move – Extending the Green and the Healthy Infrastructure Plan.

The City has retained the services of TBG Partners to design and provide project oversight for the project. The 12-foot-wide concrete hike and bike trail with pedestrian bridges and low water crossings follows the Timber Creek Greenbelt. There also will be trailhead access points along the trail that will include seating, bike racks, trash/recycling receptacles, wayfinding, and environmental graphics. The trail will weave through the existing dense riparian corridor with special attention to preserving trees and existing topography where possible. The trail also will include public art.
