What are my options for getting around the neighborhood? We have lots of options! The tour spans about 2 miles total. It’s mostly flat, and most stops are easy to walk between. Prefer to drive? Free street parking is available near every stop. Biking is another great way to get around Trinity Park. We also hope to have some Lime or Spin electric scooters available throughout the area. And even better, new this year we are proud to offer FREE SHUTTLE SERVICE by Scottie Noel of Integrity Travel. Scottie will circulate along the tour route throughout the day. Flag him down and hop in!
Are there bathrooms? There are no public bathrooms at the park. But our wonderful neighbors at Beth El Synagogue are hosting an open house for tourgoers. Stop by for the restrooms, water, and a mini tour. The synagogue is centrally located at 1004 Watts St.
Has this tour really been happening for the past 50 years? What can you tell me about past tours? Yes! The first tour was in 1975 and volunteer Trinity Parkers have been running this nearly biennial event ever since. Click here (2024) and here (2022) and here (2018) for recent tours. Some info about one of the very first tours is here (1981).
How can I help? We need volunteers! If you want to volunteer as a docent or a ticket seller, please contact Julia before October 12 at juliaborbelybrown@yahoo.com. Volunteers receive one free ticket to the tour.
