Orange County Parks & Recreation, the Pine Hills Neighborhood Improvement District and guests officially cut the ribbon on a new shade station on the Pine Hills Trail. Located at the corner of Silver Star Road and Golf Club Parkway, the shade station and surrounding landscaped area will give walkers and bicyclists a place to rest or have a snack along the trail.
“This shade pavilion really represents some ideas that the people in the community and the Pine Hills Advisory Council came up with to make Pine Hills even better,” said Michelle Owens, executive director of Orange County Pine Hills Neighborhood Improvement District. “Everything in this park is something that a community member said it would be nice to have here – bike racks, a community bulletin board, a picnic table.”
The Pine Hills Trail represents approximately eight miles of Orange County’s Trails Master Plan. The trail almost exclusively uses existing corridors and will be the primary trail connection between the Shingle Creek Trail and the Seminole-Wekiva Trail.
