ThemeWelcome to Scarborough Trails. Our theme is "Scarborough Trails: Past and Present." We are highlighting our current trail work against the larger historical background of transportation in Scarborough. The Web SiteYou can view maps of our local trails in Scarborough, Maine. You can also print the maps to take with you on a trail walk. As the trails are listed we are assembling a uses table for quick comparison of trail types. The Town of Scarborough, Community Services Department outlines the vision behind this trails work on the "About" page. Also provided is the ordinance creating rules for the use of parks and recreational facilities in Town. We hope you find the information here of value. We also wish to know if you have suggestions for making this Web site more useful. Bruce Gullifer |
