Leadership Pensacola Breaks Ground On New Trail
March 19, 2013
The Greater Pensacola Chamber and Leadership Pensacola’s (LeaP) Class of 2013 broke ground Tuesday morning on the LEAP Trail, the group’s official class project.
The LEAP Trail, located near the City’s Roger Scott Athletic Complex, will be an inclusive activity space, providing leisure, exercise, activity, and play opportunities for the entire community. Among the trail’s amenities will be a three-mile Innisfree Hotels Track, which will begin at the new Hyatt Place Hotel at Pensacola International Airport and run south down 12th Avenue, then through Roger Scott, down Summit Boulevard, and up Jerry Maygarden Road. The trail will also feature an inclusive playground accessible for children and adults of all physical abilities, as well as six workout stations placed along the trail.
“This project is a great example of what we can accomplish through community-driven initiatives and public-private partnerships,” said Pensacola Mayor Ashton Hayward. “As we continue to make Pensacola a better place and improve our city’s quality of life, the LEAP Trail is going to be an incredible asset for our community.”
Construction on the LEAP Trail is expected to be completed in May.

Escambia county needs to take a lesson from the city when it comes to parks and recreation… Almost every neighborhood in the city has at least one nice well maintained park.
