About

Encinitas Trails Coalition is a grassroots nonprofit advocating for the protection, development, and maintenance of the community trail network across Encinitas's Olivenhain district and surrounding open spaces. The coalition's trail-stewardship work intersects with the city's broader parks system, contributing ADA-compliant ramp installations at Lone Jack Road and Fortuna Ranch Road and coordinating signage improvements near Encinitas Community Park on Santa Fe Drive. Adopted in 2003, the Recreational Trail Master Plan guides the organization's mission to connect parks, open-space preserves, and school campuses through a continuous multi-use trail corridor serving hikers, cyclists, and equestrians. Trail-condition monitoring and bridge-construction initiatives funded by membership dues support the same riding and cycling routes that RIDE Cyclery equips North County cyclists to explore from its Encinitas Boulevard shop. The coalition's annual advocacy calendar includes representation at Encinitas City Council parks-and-recreation hearings, booth presence at the Encinitas Street Fair on Coast Highway 101, and volunteer coordination at the Olivenhain Crafts Faire.
