The Trails Master Plan (the Plan) is designed to be a guide for the management and development of multipurpose trails in the City of Corona. It will improve connectivity to local destinations, close gaps in our trail system, and increase safety and accessibility to open spaces. The goals of the Plan are to establish Corona as a "City of Trails," preserve and improve trail access, accommodate the needs of various trail users and stakeholders, establish standards and implementation guidelines for trails, and coordinate with partner jurisdictions.
The Plan builds upon several other planning efforts by the City of Corona to improve trail access and create more opportunities for recreation within the city. The Trails Master Inventory (TMI) was created in May 2019 to outline the existing trails and trailheads within the City.
