In early 1997 the Penfield Trails Committee was created as an advisory committee to the Parks and Recreation Board.  This committee meets the first Tuesday of every month at Penfield Community Center, 1985 Baird Rd., at 5:00 pm. The mission of this committee is to "Create a hiking/biking trail committee to work with the Town of Penfield (Parks and Recreation Dept., Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and Town Board) to promote, improve and develop present and future trails/routes that best meet the needs of the residents of the Town of Penfield". Trail Work & Maintenance The Penfield Trails Committee is involved in building new trails and maintaining approximately 15 miles of trails within the Town of Penfield. This includes trails located in Town of Penfield Parks, Monroe County Parks (Ellison Park, Lucien Morin Park, Abraham Lincoln Park) and connecting linkage trails around Town that have easements on private land.  The maintenance of these trails requires annual, and sometimes semi-annual attention. Trimming of brush, clearing fallen trees or limbs, restoring trail surface with wood chips, re-routing trail to avoid obstacles or improve safety, are some of the maintenance tasks that are needed. Building new trails in town is an ongoing effort which is guided by our Trails Master Plan. The timing is determined by land becoming available for trail routes, and an assessment by our committee of public needs.
