Spring color which runs from late February thru June is more spread out in time than Fall color which starts in late September and is over by the end of November. So while you won't see as much color in every block that you walk there is still much too see and enjoy.

Although we're not Vermont there's still plenty of great Fall color in Bridlemile which peaks during the month from about mid-October to mid-November... with some color visible earlier and hanging on later.

The Bridlemile Hamilton Park Foot Patrol is dedicated to making Hamilton Park a safer, quieter, more litter free park for all to enjoy. Active members of the foot patrol are neighborhood volunteers who've received training through the City. The Hamilton Park Foot Patrol began in 2004. Volunteers patrol the park on weekends and selected weekdays. Your participation on one or more patrol walks is all it takes to keep the foot patrol effective.

This will contain the minutes from each meeting of the SW Trails group.
