Kennett Bike Park to Hillendale Road
(Parrish Trail)
The Kennett Trails Alliance (KTA), Brandywine Red Clay Alliance (BRC), Bike Kennett, Kennett Township, the Borough of Kennett Square, and GreenRoots Landscaping, are currently developing a Conceptual Master Plan for the Parrish property.
WHERE
The 37-acre Parrish Property, which is owned by the Borough of Kennett Square, is located at the edge of Kennett Township bordered by West South Street, Scarlet Road, and West Hillendale Road.
Within the property boundary is the existing Parrish Trail, which was recently completed to Greenway specification from West South Street to the Kennett Bike Park location.
After stream restoration is implemented, Kennett Trails Alliance will spearhead the completion of the Kennett Greenway on the southern half of the Parrish property according to the alignment identified in a to-be-completed Conceptual Master Plan.
STATUS: IN DESIGN
Completion of the Conceptual Master Plan will kick off a multi-phase Project which has already begun to receive funding and support from across the community. The project team’s goals include:
Complete the Kennett Bike Park, including wooded skills track area within boundaries of Parrish property.
Restore segments of the West Branch of the Red Clay Creek.
Construction and paving of new ADA accessible pathways extending to Hillendale Road.
Continued future connections to Chandler Mill Greenway.
