pinellas trail

The Fred Marquis Pinellas Trail is a linear, multi-use trail extending from St. Petersburg to Tarpon Springs. The Trail, created along a portion of abandoned railroad corridor, provides a unique, protected greenspace for walking, jogging, skating and biking. Currently, the trail covers 47 miles (76 km).

This trail has so much potential to connect our community, enhance our greenspace, enahnce urban biodiversity, which is why we created THE SUNLINE.

Our goal is to unite key stakeholders and regenerate this underutilized transportation corridor.

Our inspiration:

The ATlanta beltine

The Atlanta Beltline is an extraordinary attraction for visitors and residents alike. This 22-mile loop of trails, parks, and future transit is connecting 45 neighborhoods and creating a vibrant public space for recreation, commerce, and cultural expression. Along the path, you can find new restaurants, breweries, art galleries, local businesses, and experience moving arts and cultural exhibits and programs.
