SAUGANASH TRAIL

It was exactly two weeks ago when I had the 'privilege' and responsibility of driving my daughter to her 'tumbling' class which she takes in conjunction with her cheerleading.  During that initial visit, I set out on an urban hike with the idea of finding the Sauganash Trail. I succeeded in finding a Nature Preserve and hiking seven miles in the 90 minutes between drop-off and pick-up. Still, during that initial attempt, I failed to actually find the Sauganash Trail. Yesterday, I tried again. This time I was successful.

from the Chicago Park District website...

The Sauganash Trail officially opened June 21, 2008 in the Sauganash community on Chicago’s Northwest Side. It’s one mile long, running from Bryn Mawr to Devon near Kostner. It’s a wonderful little path that is used regularly by locals.

History

In the mid-2000s, the Chicago Department of Transportation built a new multi-use recreational trail adjacent to Sauganash Park. The 2.1 million project was funded by Federal and State grants. Construction required the demolition and replacement of two unsafe railroad bridges over Peterson and Rogers Park avenues. The trail was built to Chicago Park District standards with a 12-foot wide paved surface flanked by soft-surface running/walking surfaces that are each 3-feet wide. There are two access ramps—one at Sauganash Park and one at Thome Street, and the trail is accessible at Bryn Mawr and Devon avenues. It is lined on both sides with lawn and trees. The Chicago Park District leases the linear park from the City of Chicago. Since its completion in 2008, the site has been called Sauganash Trail Park, and it is well known to the community by that name.
