Ribbon Cutting and Community Bike Ride to Celebrate Coombs Creek Trail Extensions to Moss Park and Beckley Ave.

What

North Oak Cliff residents will celebrate the double Coombs Creek Trail Ribbon Cutting. This “double” celebration will kick off at Moss Park, where the City of Dallas’ Park and Recreation Department recently finished the Coombs Creek Trail extension to Moss Park. The new trail extensions on the west and east create a nearly 4-mile trail for North Oak Cliff neighbors to safely walk, stroll, skate, and bike. Coombs Creek Trail provides a vital east-west connection for much of District 1, connecting residents to green space, neighbors, and businesses.
