Located in the Black Mountain Open Space Park, the flat, wide trail makes a scenic quarter-mile loop. Made of decomposed granite the trail welcomes anyone who may have difficultly negotiating traditional hiking trail terrain.
CPA Executive Director Joy Lyndes applauds this addition to San Diego's park system. Lyndes, a Landscape Architect, received the Common Ground Award for Innovation in Architecture award for her firm's work on the Feliz Paseos Universal Accessibility Park in Tuscon, Arizona.
"Intentional design for users of all ages and mobility levels is what makes a healthy lifestyle universally accessible," Lyndes said.
The trail, officially known as the Jas Arnold Trail For All People, includes four shade structures and interpretive signage. Learn more about Arnold, who posthumouly received the 10News Leadership Award for his key role in the trail's creation, at http://www.10news.com/lifestyle/leadership
