While much of Legacy Park is closed because it’s a hazardous materials-filled demolition site, there are some open biking and hiking trails on the eastern end of the property that you may explore now. They were built with the assistance of the Motor City Mountain Biking Association (MCMBA) and are appropriate for all skill levels.

The Bell Branch Trail is for mountain biking. It’s about two miles long and features rolling terrains and twists and turns.

The Chinkapin Hiking Trail is a one-mile loop to explore on foot.

To access these existing trails, parking is allowed on the north side of Wayne Avenue or in the Schoolcraft parking lot off Haggerty. The trails and trailhead are on Wayne Avenue (north of Cross Road, off Haggerty).
