WASSON WAY
Let’s build our trail!
JOIN US in transforming one of the country’s great undiscovered greenways — over 6 miles of mixed use trail that goes from Victory Parkway near Xavier University through twelve local neighborhoods. The Wasson Way is now open from Ault Park to Montgomery Road on the edge of Xavier’s campus and from Woodburn Avenue to Blair Court.
Please help us by donating to the Wasson Way.
Wasson Way is a key east-west corridor in CROWN, the Cincinnati Riding Or Walking Network. CROWN will create a 34-mile trail loop connecting Wasson Way to the Murray Path, Little Miami Scenic Trail, Canal Bikeway, Ohio River Trail, Mill Creek Greenway Trail, and more.
Help us build a vibrant active community in Cincinnati!
