FreeWalkers is excited to join Stephen Dunn, the Biking Fireman, for this impactful event to promote the development of the Rahway Valley Railroad (RVR) Trail. This year, UCC’s usual route and schedule have changed. Instead of its usual 4-mile walk through the Union County Parks, UCC is doing a 1-mile walk along the Rahway Valley Railroad line to help clean up the Roselle Park stretch of land for its future transformation into a trail. This will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (gloves, bags, and pickers will be provided), followed by a reception from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. at Frenchy’s in Roselle Park. As such, FreeWalkers’ plan is now follows: 10:00 a.m. : FreeWalkers meet at Cranford Train Station to enjoy a 5.5 - 6 mile walk from Cranford to Roselle Park (by way of Kenilworth). We will enjoy a fun journey through Nomahegan, Lenape, and Black Brook Parks, taking a quick break at the Acme in Kenilworth for a bathroom/snack, and then continuing into Roselle park to meet up with the UCC folks. Approximately 12:00 noon : we hope to meet up with the UCC folks somewhere around Boy Scout Park for their ribbon cutting ceremony or en route back to Frenchy’s (where the reception will take place). 1:00 p.m. : Reception at Frenchy’s (please register via this link). https://ticketstripe.com/ctd-frenchys2025 ***For those of you who would prefer to enjoy a shorter walk with the UCC folks and assist with their cleanup, you are welcome to simply meet up with UCC at Frenchy’s at 11:00 a.m. where their walk begins (and we will either see you en route or at Frenchy’s). When complete, the RVR will connect from Summit all the way to Roselle Park, 7.3 miles of traffic free multi-use path. Let's turn out in force to push its development along! Partners: The East Coast Greenway Alliance is a non-profit organization developing a public multi-use 3,000 mile trail from Canada to Key West through New Jersey and New York. Donations and memberships help make this dream trail a reality.
