Construction began in September 2025 to revamp and improve the Grand Rapids, Michigan, Oxford Trail.
This $9 million project will connect Roosevelt Park, the Black Hills and downtown Grand Rapids. Links to other trails are an important part of the effort. The trail will connect with the Grand River Greenway which will eventually stretch from Lake Michigan to Lowell. First will be rehabilitation of the existing trail segment from Wealthy St (west of the Grand River) into the Black Hills neighborhood. There are proposed extensions to Hall St, Kent Trails, and Millennium Park.
Possible future connections are to Plaster Creek Trail, Garfield Park, and Burton Heights neighborhoods.
The trail will be non-motorized and multi-use.
Funding comes from the American Rescue Plan Act and a DNR grant to Downtown Grand Rapids Inc.
