Outdoor Amenities

Trailside Pavilion

Thanks to funds from the Charles J. Strosacker Foundation, Friends of the Rail-Trail, and The Great Lakes Bay Invitational, an accessible pavilion is available at Trailside Center.

Use of the new, accessible, pavilion will be available at no charge. Please feel welcome to come and picnic with your family, or meet up before a walk or ride on the Rail Trail. We will not be requiring reservations at this time, but simply ask courtesy toward fellow users.

Three-Wheel Bicycle Check-out

Trailside Center offers the ability to reserve a three-wheeled bike for 4-hour time blocks once per day. The bikes are located within a shelter adjacent to the Rail Trail at the end of the Trailside building.

• Each bike may be reserved for one 4-hour block per day. Available slots are 8 am-12 pm, 12 pm-4 pm, and 4 pm-8 pm.
• Users are required to provide phone number & email when reserving, to complete a waiver of liability before first use, and to return bike to the bike rack and re-lock it by the specified end time.
• Users who do not comply with these requests will not be allowed to check bikes out in the future.
