The network

A growing trail network on your doorstep.

From restored singletrack around Hill 60 to brand-new routes across the commonage, Grahamstown's trail network keeps expanding — built and cared for by the community.

Working alongside local partners such as Amarider, we share a vision of getting more people outdoors and active — providing opportunities for cycling, trail running, hiking and dog walking close to where people live, learn and work.

Our goal is simple: a trail network that connects people with nature, with each other, and with the unique landscapes that make Grahamstown special.
