Delaware Township will officially open a new trailhead along the Nickel Plate Trail with a community open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 30.

Township Trustee Debbie Driskell is inviting residents and neighbors to attend the event, scheduled from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Delaware Township Community Center.

The celebration marks the completion of several facility improvements, including the new trailhead park, upgraded public restrooms and renovations to the community center. Township officials say the enhancements are designed to expand access to outdoor recreation while strengthening connections within the community.

Residents of all ages are encouraged to attend and explore the new amenities. The event will include a ceremonial ribbon cutting, along with a variety of family-friendly activities such as spring-themed games, a scavenger hunt with prizes and local resource and information tables.

Food and refreshments will be available from Chef TLC Food Truck.

Driskell said the project reflects the township’s ongoing focus on creating spaces that bring people together.

“‘Together We Grow’ is the spirit behind the new amenities we are celebrating,” Driskell said. “We hope this event and the new trailhead will bring neighbors closer together.”

She added that the trailhead represents more than just a new access point.

“This new trailhead is more than just an access point, it’s an investment in connection, wellness, and the future of our community,” Driskell said. “We’re excited to welcome residents to celebrate and explore everything this space has to offer.”
