Chadwick Flyer Trail Open House April 10, 2025

The Chadwick Flyer Trail offers a vital active transportation corridor between the City of Ozark and the City of Springfield. It is a part of the growing regional trail system. Current efforts are focused on the approximately 12 miles between Sunshine Street in Springfield and the Ozark Community Center in Ozark. Click HERE to learn more about this trail.

You are invited to an open-house public meeting on Thursday, April 10, 2025, to gather input from adjacent property owners about the Chadwick Flyer Trail between Kissick Avenue and the James River Greenway Trail of honor.  This meeting will be on April 10, 2025 from 5:30-7:00 PM at the Lake Springfield Boat House, 2312 Lake Springfield Road, Springfield, MO

The meeting will be held in a drop-in style, allowing members of the public to visit at any time between 5:30 and 7:00 PM.  Attendees can view exhibits, provide input, and ask questions about the proposed trail corridor.  Please note that there will not be a formal presentation.  The Chadwick Flyer Trail is a regional trail that will extend from the Ozark Community Center in Ozark to Sunshine Street in Springfield, with plans to eventually reach Downtown Springfield.

Project Information

Currently, Ozark Greenways has partnered with several agencies, including the City of the Springfield, Ozarks Transportation Organization, and the Springfield-Greene County Park Board, to fund the design of a 5.5-mile trail section from Kissick Avenue to Sunshine Street.  The first phase of this design will cover the stretch from Kissick Avenue to the James River Greenway Trail of Honor.

If you are interested in other sections of the trail, we encourage you to attend our future public meetings, which will be held at a later date to discuss the sections north of the Trail of Honor.

For additional information on the current trail project, to provide input if unable to attend, or if additional accommodations are necessary, please contact the Ozark Greenways Executive Director Ben Tegeler via email at ben.tegeler@ozarkgreenways.org
