Athens-Clarke NEIGHborhood Group

We are a group of citizens who want a passive use equine park in Athens-Clarke County.


Sandy Creek Park’s trails are a start, but they’re not enough. These short, dead-end paths stop at the wetlands, forcing riders to double back. It’s like having half a trail when we need a full, flowing network.

We need equine trails that are:

  • Longer and Connected: Open paths for real rides, not just quick loops.
  • Accessible: Welcoming for all riders, from beginners to seasoned equestrians.
  • Sustainable: Built to last, preserving our green spaces.

Think of trails like the wide-open spaces at our best local parks—designed for everyone to enjoy. Together, we can make Athens-Clarke a haven for horse riders!
