The Tri-Community Greenway is a 6.6 mile long multi use trail located in Massachusetts! It is dedicated to Cameron Bain, a person that is actually from MY family, who wanted this trail to become a reality for OVER 30 years.
It all started back in the 80s, when the OLD Stoneham Branch of the Boston and Lowell Railroad has remained semi abandoned! A local Stoneham resident has purchased these tracks to tear up for a "rail trail" coming out in the future. After several decades of development, ground was FINALLY broken at Ginn Field in Winchester, Massachusetts back in May 2017! Construction of the Tri-Community Greenway has taken OVER 2 years, before finally opening up in June 2019. This new trail runs from Wedgemere Station in Winchester to Recreation Park in Stoneham. A spur route goes to Horn Pond, and I will explain how to navigate both routes in FULL DETAILS here!
