The Grand Opening Ceremony will begin at 10 am at Independence Park, 801 West Valencia Drive, Fullerton. Be among the first to walk, bike, and enjoy this brand-new greenbelt trail connecting our neighborhoods with safe, beautiful, and sustainable pathways. This long-awaited project brings new trees, lighting, and enhanced recreation opportunities right to the heart of our community.<\/p>\n

An initiative aimed at transforming an unsightly stretch along an old railroad spur into a vibrant community trail has faced multiple challenges and opposition from a few of the council members, even with $1.78 million in state funding backing it.<\/p>\n

After significant community pressure, Council Member Dunlap ultimately changed his stance, voting in favor of the construction contract alongside fellow council members Zahra, Charles, and Valencia. In a not so surprising turn, Mayor Fred Jung stood alone in opposition to the project.<\/p>\n

The Union Pacific Trail project stands as a testament to the community\u2019s commitment to development, equity, and civic engagement. Residents are hopeful that this project will be the beginning of more green space for South Fullerton and will create a welcoming space for everyone.<\/p>\n
