A major piece of Wadsworth’s Brickyard redevelopment is getting closer to completion, with city officials reporting that approximately 75% of the passive park’s trails are now finished.
The update was shared with Wadsworth City Council’s Public Ways Committee on Monday, Nov. 9.
According to city officials, the remaining trail work could be completed within the next three to four weeks, depending on weather conditions.
Crews are also hoping to complete concrete and paving work at the trailheads over the next two weeks, weather permitting.
The trail system is part of the larger transformation of the former Wadsworth Brick and Tile property into a community recreational destination.
The 205-acre Brickyard property is being redeveloped in phases, with the passive park designed to provide more than three miles of trails, scenic overlooks and access to natural features, including ponds, wetlands and rock formations.
The park will also feature trailheads at Chelley Lane and Wall Road, with parking areas, restrooms and informational kiosks.
The city’s long-term vision for the Brickyard property includes an athletic complex, although that portion of the project remains unfunded.
For now, the focus is on wrapping up construction of the walking trails and related improvements.
While the latest timeline suggests much of the trail work could be finished by early December, the city has not announced an official public opening date.
The project is turning a longtime industrial property into a new outdoor recreational space for Wadsworth residents and visitors.
