Join the communities along the Rhode Island Avenue Trolley Trail for a full-day celebration! Activities will occur throughout the day from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., along the entirety of the 3.8-mile stretch of the Trolley Trail. The event is free for everyone; we welcome people of all ages and backgrounds to celebrate with us.
The Rhode Island Avenue Trolley Trail is a 3.8-mile trail that is a recreational and transportation asset – it can also become even more of an economic driver than it is today. By linking the downtowns and commercial areas of three Route 1/Baltimore Avenue Corridor communities, the Trolley Trail serves as a convenient connection between our communities. It is directly connected to the Anacostia River Trail System and Capital Trails Network, a premier regional system of bicycle and pedestrian trails in the DMV.
Currently serving the communities of Hyattsville, Riverdale Park, and College Park, the Prince George’s Department of Parks and Recreation (M-NCPPC) coordinated initial development of the Trolley Trail and remains a supporting partner with the Route 1/Baltimore Avenue communities for expansion and programming.
Through events like Trolley Trail Day, we can become a greater destination for residents and out-of-town cyclists to explore our small businesses and cultural sites.
It was an amazing day to showcase the Route 1 Community. There was a full range of things to do for all ages from College Park to Riverdale Park to Hyattsville, including – live local music, kid activities, arts, history, exercise and wellness, specials on food and beverages, and much more! People visited hubs of activity from Hyattsville to Hollywood or Hollywood to Hyattsville all day long! There were 10 activity hubs along the trail.
Over 580 people attended the first-ever official TTD Wrap Party at the College Park Aviation Museum. The event featured local band Laundry World as they rocked out tunes with the College Park Chorale behind them. As the evening progressed, planes were taking off and landing and there was a military flyover to boot. Food trucks Para Hita and LaMeera Ice Cream provided delicious food and ice cream, and StreetCar 82 Brewing Co sold fresh cold beer to attendees and volunteers.
