The Tamaya Trail Connection Project plans to improve community health and outdoor recreation for the Tamaya’meh through significant upgrades to the local walking trail system near the Tamaya Wellness Center. The project will enhance safe access to wellness facilities, better connect residents to local natural landscapes like the Rio Grande and the Bosque ecosystem, and eliminate physical barriers to outdoor recreation. By doing so, the project contributes to the Wellness Center's goal of fostering active, balanced lifestyles and strengthens its role in promoting community wellness.
