Accessible walking trails, like many found in Reston, are better for your health and relationships.
Everyone, including Gabriel Homes residents, can enjoy nature comfortably when the Reston trails have wide paths and are free of debris.
Groups like the Reston Accessibility Committee push for better access across the city. With walkable trails in their backyards, our residents can explore the outdoors safely and independently.
The Reston Trails
Residents cherish the walkable trails around their homes, especially in spring. John and Rich walk with Lucy on their days off. The group are close friends who hold each other accountable for walking. Their usual trail is in the heart of the neighborhood, and the group says hi to everyone who crosses their paths.
No two Reston trails are the same from home to home.
Sean lives over a mile and a half away from John and Rich, but his favorite path is a 30-minute trek each way to and from their home.
“Our backyard has an easy trail that gets onto the main sidewalk toward John and Rich’s home. Rich is kind when I see him. He offers me a glass of water when I stop by. I usually have one or two drinks before I head home.”
In the heart of Reston, residents enjoy accessible homes and supportive neighbors. Their easy-to-use trails allow people of all ages and abilities to stay active and connected. Every step is a step toward healthier, more inclusive lives.
