PARKS AND TRAILS OF HEATH

PARKS AND TRAILS OF HEATH:

Supporting a Premier Outdoor Recreation Community

Heath’s parks and trails are at the heart of the City’s premier outdoor lifestyle, providing places where residents can connect, explore and enjoy the natural beauty that defines the community. From scenic trails and waterfront views to playgrounds, sports fields and gathering spaces, these amenities promote healthy living and enhance the exceptional quality of life that makes Heath a special place to call home.

PATH’S MISSION AND PRIORITIES

PATH was created to engage Heath citizens, local organizations and businesses in helping to ensure a high-quality park and trails system that is consistently expanding to meet the needs of residents of all ages, today and for generations to come.

PATH priorities are to expand the current trail system to provide pedestrian and bike connectivity citywide; and to enhance the amenities and facilities in the City’s existing parks.

PARKS AND TRAILS OF HEATH (PATH)

APPLY FOR THE PATH FUND RAISING COMMITTEE

Beyond the Meeting Room. A Legacy for Heath.

Every great community is defined by its shared spaces. The Parks and Trails of Heath (PATH) initiative is designed to create those spaces—the parks where families gather, the trails where neighbors connect, and the greenways that define our community’s identity. But dreams require action, and projects depend on funding.

We are seeking leaders, not just volunteers

Membership on PATH comes with a clear understanding: your primary responsibility is to inspire others to give. This is a leadership role focused on proactive fundraising and community stewardship.

We’re looking for individuals who will actively engage our community—from local businesses to neighbors and friends—to build a strong, sustainable future for Heath.

While your personal passion is essential, your commitment to fundraising is what will drive our mission forward. This isn’t just about attending meetings; it’s about leaving a legacy. It’s about being part of something generational, creating the parks and trails that will enrich the lives of Heath residents for decades.

Are you ready for the challenge?

Ready to step up and make a lasting difference? Join the legacy.
