"This project is a true community effort that will allow neighbors to work side-by-side to create a network of trails that can be used and enjoyed by southeast Austin residents for years to come," said Randy Blair, vice president of Fab 25 at Spansion.

The idea for the project surfaced during the Country Club Creek neighborhood planning In 1915, Robert E. Park and E. W. Burgess introduced the idea of "neighborhood" as an ecological concept with urban planning implications . Since then, many concepts and ideas of a neighborhood have emerged.  process in 2004 when local residents and City staff agreed that trails would be beneficial to the community. As neighbors began talking about the project, momentum began to build and the Country Club Creek Trails Alliance was formed. Volunteers and staff from the City of Austin inventoried the property along Country Club Creek to determine ownership of parcels as well as natural features and construction challenges. In 2004, the group began clean-up efforts in Colorado River Park in anticipation of trail development.

Guerrero-Colorado River Park currently has a 1.5 mile-long trail that links Kreig Fields to the Montopolis Sports Complex, and connects to the Town Lake Hike and Bike Trail. The proposed 5.5 miles of the Country Club Creek Trail will tie into this existing trail and incorporate several southeast Austin neighborhoods into the southeast Austin trail network.

"This is a beautiful area that is currently underserved in terms of developed parks and trails," said Charlie McCabe, executive director of the Austin Parks Foundation. "This project is a step in the right direction."

Plans include utilizing an existing hike and bike pathway along Pleasant Valley Road and bikeway bike·way

A leg of the trail will lead through the Burleson Heights neighborhood to Mabel Davis Park and Linder Elementary School. Future connections may extend south of Ben White Boulevard to other trails being developed.

Volunteers and City staff are working with property owners to secure easement easement, in law, the right to use the land of another for a specified purpose, as distinguished from the right to possess that land. If the easement benefits the holder personally and is not associated with any land he owns, it is an easement in gross (e.g.  rights for the trail, and seeking permissions and permits for the work.
