So close! Once complete, the Marengo trail will be close to 5 continuous miles! What a great community amenity!

🎉We’re almost to our goal!

We are so close to reaching our goal of raising $200,000 to complete the Marengo Trails.
Thanks to the community’s generosity, we’ve already raised $137,000, which means we’re just $63,000 away from a completed trail!

When you donate this spring, your dollars go further. We’ve received a gravel discount if we’re able to complete the project soon.
Let’s come together to finish this incredible community resource and create a space everyone can enjoy!

Ways to donate:

✅ Venmo:
💵 Cash or check: Drop off at Blackwall Fitness or Compass Memorial Healthcare

Every dollar gets us closer. Thank you for supporting Marengo Trails!
