CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - The City of Charlottesville is creating more outdoor spaces for you to explore.
New trails along Moores Creek are now public properties thanks to a partnership with the Rivanna Trails Foundation and nearby landowners.
The city acquired land located in the Fry’s Spring neighborhood, so it could connect Sunset Avenue to McElroy Drive along Moores Creek. Half an acre of land was purchased from Marta Domanska and a donation of trail easement came from Eric and Joyce Geilker. The trail will be open for use in the near future.
