Puyallup River Walk Trail Opens!!!

It was a beautiful Saturday morning June 2nd at the Puyallup's River Walk Trail ribbon cutting ceremony. The trail runs along Puyallup River from the truck scales on River Road to Mama Stortini's Ristorante on Main Avenue.

Only a little more than half of the trail is paved right now, so users have to use sidewalks in some areas. There is also a new parking area in process under the 512 overpass. Ralph Dannenberg, director of Puyallup Parks and Recreation, says the trail could be connected to the Foothills Trail as soon as 2008.

Below are some pictures from Saturday morning. Come visit the trail and take advantage of all the hard work and dedication.

The trail was full of bikers, walkers and people jogging. This has been a long road, to see it come to fruition is such a gift to our community.
