Seeking Name for Trail:
City of Gainesville Wild Spaces & Public Places staff has received feedback that
“Sweetwater Recreational Trail” might be a confusing name for the future trail from
the south side of Depot Park to the intersection of SE 16th Avenue and Williston Road
since so many parks include the word Sweetwater.
Seeking input on the possibility of a trail name for the segment. Staff could default
to a descriptive name as has been done for others…something like…“Depot
Park - Sweetwater Wetlands Park Connector Trail”.
Have any ideas on a name for the trail?
(352) 393-8493 / bikeped@cityofgainesville.org
