Press Coverage

The Lakeside Park trail project is a huge win for the Upstate, especially for the underserved neighborhood where it is located.  Already, local residents are out walking and riding their bikes in the woods and the trails have become a primary practice location for the Upstate Shredders, a local youth mountain biking team.  As part of the trail building project, volunteers removed more than three tons of garbage from the woods, returning the area to a beautiful natural state.  This public-private partnership between Greenville County and UGATA’s alliance members is a great example of what UGATA does best:  getting things done!  Together, we built a 6 mile network that anyone can use to get a workout or take in some nature!  If you’d like to come check it out, look for the entrance near the basketball courts at Lakeside Park.
