Project Summary
The Popperton Park trails project is located in the Avenues neighborhood of Salt Lake City. The Popperton Park trails are divided into three zones: West Popperton (foot-traffic only trails), East Popperton (bike trails), and South Popperton (a walking trail and a beginner mountain biking loop).
Trails
- West Popperton Hiking Loops: Two walking/hiking/running loops meander through grassy hillside open space. This trail will connect with sidewalks on Virginia Street and Popperton Way.
- East Popperton biking trails (Hop on Pop, Big Pop, and Lil Pop): Descending-direction, bike-only trails to provide fun and skill-building for beginner and intermediate riders. Short length encourages looping for practice.
- South Popperton Walking Trail: A current community social trail to be upgraded for strolls and outdoor appreciation. For safety and trail sustainability, this trail will be closed to bikers.
- South Pop Bike Loop: A ¼ mile bike loop for fun and skill-building for beginner riders and children.
