Supporters of the Hawthorn to Box Hill Trail met at Glenferrie Station and cycled to locations and route options along the trail including Grace Park, Hawthorn Station, St James Park and locations for a new bridge crossing the Yarra River to Richmond. 

We rode the short section of shared path next to Hilda Crescent near the Glenferrie Oval that could be connected with a new shared path to Kew following the old Kew branch railway line.

We followed the gravel tracks in Grace Park to cross Power St and look at the possibility of the trail going under the Power Street bridge (there is room for it!).

We then rode past St James Park and along Mason Street down to Creswick Street where  a new shared path bridge could cross the Yarra to connect to the Main Yarra Trail and other bike routes in the City of Yarra.

More information and photos of the ride are [here].

We have provided this template and contact details for you to write an email or letter to your local MPs asking them to support the trail and allocated funding for it.

Thanks for your support. Our petition nearly has 2,000 signatures now!
