Take a walk on a new trail
The BREC Zachary Community Park/Americana Trail Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony and Community Walk is at 9 a.m. Saturday, April 15.
Walk the 0.66-mile easy-to-walk nature trail at BREC Zachary Community Park, 20055 Old Scenic Highway. The BREC trail connects the Zachary Community Park to the Americana subdivision, featuring wooden bridges and limestone pathways. The dual ownership trail is the first in a series of walking trails in the area funded through BREC and the Americana Economic Development District, a taxing mechanism financed from a one-cent sales tax throughout the district.
Along the walk, naturalists with BREC’s Conservation Department will host numerous educational stations where participants can learn about plants, insects and other critters that live outdoors. In addition, BREC will host free games for children of all ages. The City of Zachary will sponsor a “Make your own trail mix” station and give 75 clear backpacks to the first participating walkers.
