CJ Dennis Centennail Trail

Toolangi CJ Dennis Centennial Trail

Multipurpose Track Ready to Commence in 2010 

Chosen by the community in 2007 as a Community Building Initiative, planning for the multi purpose track continues under the auspice of the Community House, with a committee working to consolidate proposals and coordinate relevant partners and plans.

Broad aims of the project are:

• Increased safety for pedestrian traffic, particularly along the main road precinct in the area around the Toolangi Primary School
• Linking the Toolangi and Kinglake communities by trail to each other, to Healesville, and the Bicentennial National Trail (via the Kinglake National Park, State Forest, and Monda Track). 

From Sylvia Creek Road to Old Toolangi Dixons Creek Road, the 7km meandering gravel pathway (2.5metre wide) for walkers, cyclists, and horse riders, generally follows Myers Creek and Healesville-Kinglake Roads. In addition to the existing alternative bypass for horse riders, a pedestrian footpath will pass through Toolangi Township.

Helping protect the environment, the Trail keeps walkers, cyclists and horse riders to a purpose built designated path. Significantly increasing safety - addressing issues relating to log trucks and motorbikes using the ‘main road’ precinct - and connecting Toolangi and Castella communities, the Trail also provides a regional focus for tourism, environment and recreation.

A map of the Trail location is available at the Toolangi District Community House.
