College Park Trolley Trail Day 2023
2023-06-10 | Old Parish House of College Park, 4711 Knox Rd, College Park, MD, 20740, United States
Educarte Joins College Park’s Trolley Trail Day
Our regular Brazilian Carnival dance class and Bateria drumming class at the Old Parish House will be a stop on the Trolley Trail. Participants can stop in and join us!
The Trolley Trail is a 3.5-mile-long trail that is a recreational and transportation asset. By linking the downtowns and commercial areas of the three Baltimore Avenue Corridor communities, the Trolley Trail serves as a convenient connection between our communities. It also connects into the larger region’s trail network, linking us with the District of Columbia and other jurisdictions. As in 2019, community development groups the College Park City-University Partnership, Hyattsville CDC, and Maryland Milestones now known as Anacostia Trails Heritage Area Inc. (ATHA), local governments, and nonprofit organizations are holding the second annual Trolley Trail Day on June 10, 2023. The first annual Trolley Trail Day had over 800 people and over 40 businesses participating. Review the full recap of our 2019 here!

The event is sponsored by the College Park City-University Partnership
