Building Kimball with a Strong Foundation

Kimball Community Trail Project

KAFF was the driving force for the Kimball Community Trail, a 2.5-mile loop providing a safe, beautiful, traffic-free area for walking, running, and bicycling. Leashed dogs are welcomed on the trail, and an off-leash dog park has also been added. Enhancements along the trail include over 400 young trees, benches, shade shelters, and a picnic area.

The campaign was launched with donations from The Howard and Peggy Atkins Donor Advised Fund and from the Erin Aerni Memorial Fund.

Costs  included miscellaneous construction costs, tree planting, signage, mulch, benches and rest areas, fencing, dog park fencing, maintenance, expansion and other enhancements.

Many volunteers helped to clean up the area, construct the path and plant trees. KAFF oversaw and coordinated the trail project to completion.
