Truman Linear Park Trail Phase 2A is the Savannah area’s newest trail and we want to keep it neat and tidy. Join us as we pick up any litter and collect recycling, trim vegetation, and make sure the trail is in tiptop shape. All tools and supplies will be provided.
We will be spatially distanced, but masks are required. Meet at the Scarborough Sports Complex, located at the corner of Skidaway Road and Bona Bella Avenue.

Chatham County and the Georgia Department of Transportation will hold a Public Information Open House concerning the Truman Linear Park Trail On Thursday, Dec. 3, at Jenkins High School, 1800 East DeRenne Ave. The Open House will be held from 4-7 p.m. It will be informal, and the public is invited to attend anytime during these hours. There will be no formal presentation.
This project proposes to construct a 10-foot wide multi-use trail from Lake Mayer Park to Jenkins High School. The City of Savannah is responsible for building the second part of the trail, which will connect DeRenne Avenue to the existing Police Memorial Trail. The complete project will link Lake Mayer Park to Daffin Park
It is critical for trail supporters to attend this meeting and tell Chatham County and GDOT that this is a much needed project and is long overdue. Communities all over Georgia have completed trails while ours has been stuck in limbo.
GDOT will be accepting written comments until Monday, Dec. 14. Comments should be sent to:
