The Oklahoma City Trails will be a network of paved walking, running, bicycling and skating paths that will eventually stretch all across Oklahoma City and many of its suburbs.

Major completed trails include:

The Lake Hefner Trails were the first to be completed, with the Grand Boulevard Trail finished in the summer of 2002.

The Oklahoma River Trails (formerly the N Canadian Central Greenway Trail) are 14 miles of unimpeded trails along the Oklahoma River. 

The South Grand Trail is an 8.7 mile trail that passes through parks, neighborhoods and residential areas in South Oklahoma City.

We hope to build more than 200 miles of trails through the community as funding becomes available. Some of the trails have already been funded through the 2000 Bond Issue, the MAPS initiative and private partnerships.

The plan identifies 28 trails throughout the city that should be developed in the next 25 years. It was developed by a Mayor’s appointed citizen advisory committee, in conjunction with a consultant and with residents. Specific needs were defined by residents through a series of public workshops.

 

The Plan was approved by City Council on May 6, 1997. Its work completed, the Trails Steering Committee dissolved and the 167-page plan became the guidebook by which the City would begin development of the trails.

In 2002, Mayor Kirk Humphreys established the Oklahoma City Trails Advisory Committee to help implement the Trails Master Plan.
