Town Crier Articles

Autumn is around the corner with its promise of cooler days, crisper nights and the glory of changing leaves. This is a great time to get yourself, your family and friends back outside to hit the trails (and sidewalks) of New Town.  

 

 

Did you know that our community has more than 2 miles of trails and 10 miles of walkways?  New Town trails are either Green, Purple or White. Green is primarily crusher run style base material.  Areas prone to wetness also have this material topped with a layer of mulch.  Purple is all mulch, except around bridges, where crusher material is also mulch covered.  White is also primarily a crusher run trail.

 

      

 

The Williamsburg/James City County area has other great locations for strolls, runs, hikes and bikes. Colonial Williamsburg, the Greensprings Interpretive Trail, Freedom Park, and College Woods offer places that are close, but feel miles away.  Yorktown is another option, with waterside sidewalks and long stretches of sandy beach.  There are even hills, for those who want a change of terrain.

 

After such a stretch of being indoors because of the intense heat, this is a good time for a reminder to follow the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) when venturing forth:
