Using Trails in Protected Open Spaces
The Summit Park Trail System offers thrilling outdoor adventures and passes through the Summit Park Open Space, a protected area that preserves the natural habitat for local wildlife and maintains the integrity of the landscape.
Be a Responsible Steward
Responsible stewardship helps protect open spaces and trails and ensures they remain enjoyable and accessible for everyone. While recreating on the trails:
- All trail users must stay on trail and avoid creating new paths or using social trails.
- Always pack out your trash and dog waste. Trash cans and dog waste bags are available at Overland, RTS, and Run-A-Muk Trailheads.
- Keep yourself and your dogs a safe distance from animals. Remember that this is an open space, so wildlife will be present!
