Arlington Path added to Crosstown Trail

May 28, 2024 by Heather World

Along the Arlington Path

You may have noticed how great the Arlington Path and adjacent open space are looking lately, thanks to the tireless efforts of a handful of neighbors. Turns out the folks who manage the San Francisco Crosstown Trail noticed too, because now both verdant sides of the Bernal Cut are part of the Trail!

Unveiled in June 2019, the Crosstown Trail connects the four corners of San Francisco through hidden trails, public parks, shopping corridors, tiled stairways, and community gardens. A small group of volunteers collaborated with local businesses, government departments, and nonprofits to create the route.

During the month of June, those volunteers will lead tours of various legs of the Crosstown Trail to celebrate its fifth anniversary. A tour including the new Glen Park leg — the Cuvier Commons mural, the Bernal Cut, the Arlington Path, and the Arlington Triangle — happens Sunday, June 2, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sign up here for limited slots. Suggested donation is $10.

Thanks to Glen Park neighbors like Carol, Paul, Carolyn, Jodell, Marnie, Scott, Laura and especially Sophie for their years of hard work beautifying the Bernal Cut and Arlington paths.

In 2024, the Glen Park Association proudly granted $1,200 for a water meter to feed the blossoming pollinator garden on the Arlington side, thanks to the generosity of our members!

October = WALKTOBER

“Led by the Crosstown Trail, joined by Glen Park Beautiful’s SF Stairway Month 2026 and dozens of other groups, Walktober already has over 40 guided walks (the list is continuing to grow). The walks traverse the entire city, with ones that focus on plants, landmark trees, sculpture (Big Art Loop!), tiled stairways, beaches, and even include bird watching.

Glen Park, one of the city’s smallest neighborhoods, plays an outsized role in Walktober. Do look at Walktober and get out those walking shoes!

Here are just a few of the Glen Park-centric gems:
•Crosstown Trail Pub Crawl (October 6): Starts at Glen Park Station Glen Park Station
•Plants and Birds and Rocks and Things: The Remarkable Histories of Glen Canyon Park (October 11): Led by Glen Park’s historian, Evelyn Rose. To RSVP, email GlenParkHistory@gmail.com
•Glen Park Neighborhood Walk (October 21): A new walk, designed especially for Walktober and led by our fabulous Glen Park librarians.
•Truly Terrific: Tiled to Tiled Stairway Walk (October 24th): Co-led by Glen Park Beautiful’s Renee Berger you’ll visit 5 tiled stairs and enjoy a relaxing grand finale at Glen Park Station.
•All About San Francisco’s Stairways: No Walking Required! (October 27): Hosted by Bird & Beckett
•Glen Park Gravel (October 31): Revisit our rural past walking some of the city’s oldest dirt paths once grazed by cows. This walk will be led by the Crosstown Trail’s Double Cross founders with highlights added by Glen Park Neighborhoods History Project’s founder, Evelyn Rose.
