ANGELICA CREEK TRAIL

Angelica Creek Trail connects to Kenhorst Borough, Angelica Creek Park and the Schuylkill River Trail. Users can walk, bike, and enjoy the wonderful pathway to the city owned Angelica Creek Park. Make sure you look for wildflowers and birds along the trail.

About the Angelica Greenway Project
The Angelica Greenway Project (funded in-part by DCNR, William Penn Foundation, and the Russell L. Hiller Charitable Trust of the Berks County Community Foundation) aims to connect the city-owned and newly restored Angelica Park to the Ken Grill Pool, and ultimately to Nolde Forest
Environmental Education Center.

The Angelica Greenway Project is a two phase project:

Phase 1, the trail from Angelica Park to the Ken-Grill Recreation Center in Kenhorst, is completed.

Phase 2 is a DCNR funded Feasibility Study to determine potential multi-purpose and foot trail routes between Angelica Park and Nolde Forest. There are also several side trails being studied in this Feasibility Study. They are as follows:
• Shillington Memorial Park
• Governor Mifflin School Campus
• Lock 54 site
• Flying Hills Community

The need to create a greenway link between Angelica Park and Nolde Forest was first identified in the 1993/94 Berks County Open Space and Recreation Plan. The Angelica Creek Corridor was identified as an Open Space Area to be protected.

It is a goal of the Angelica Greenway Feasibility to create a regional trail connection that allows for links between communities, schools, parks and regional recreational opportunities.
