The HARD Trails and Open Space Master Plan lays the groundwork for creating a connected trail system and open space network throughout the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District’s service area. The Master Plan will help the District more fully meet the recreational needs of a growing a diversifying community, while also creating positive benefits for active transportation and resilience in the context of climate change. The HARD Parks Master Plan, adopted in 2019, recommended the development of a master plan for trails, and that recommendation is being carried out here. At the same time, we are building on current pedestrian and bicycle plan updates by Alameda County and the City of Hayward. HARD and its partners have recognized that this effort is an important opportunity to align the goals and actions of the many jurisdictions that have a role in shaping our communities.
The Trails and Open Space Master Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors in August 2021.
