West Bloomfield is home to a variety of exciting and scenic trails, including the West Bloomfield Trail, which is a six-point-eight-mile portion of the Great Lake-to-Lake Trail system. In an effort to maximize the trail-going experience for all, West Bloomfield Parks has launched a new Trail Ambassador Program.

A collaboration between WB Parks and the West Bloomfield Police Department, the Trail Ambassador Program aims to give volunteers the chance to meet other trail-goers, enjoy West Bloomfield’s beautiful green space and more – all while making a difference in our community.

The Trail Ambassador Program has established a team of trained volunteers to serve as friendly, visible representatives on West Bloomfield’s walking and biking trail network. The goal is to promote safe, courteous trail use, gather feedback on the trail’s conditions and support a positive experience for all users.

Spearheading the new program is West Bloomfield Parks’ Special Event Programmer Crystal Smith. When asked about what WB Parks hopes to achieve with the launch of this program, Smith shared: "I'm most excited for the Trail Ambassador Program to launch in West Bloomfield because it gives volunteers a simple, hands-on way to make a visible impact, whether that’s helping trail users, sharing information, or just being a friendly, trusted presence out on the path."

WB Parks is thrilled to have the opportunity to connect with community members who are passionate about our incredible trail network, and to partner with the West Bloomfield Police Department to continue to offer safe and accessible outdoor recreation!
