On August 22, 2009 over 120 Willamette University football players , lead by coach Mark Speckman, came out to Wallace Marine Park to build the beginning of the Wallace Marine Park Perimeter Trail. Using shovels, tarps and rakes the football players spread woodchips and built over 1,500 lineal feet of the soft surface trail. This event was a United Way Day of 
Caring and was made possible by the collaborative efforts of the Friends of Two Bridges, the City of Salem, United Way, Hands On of Willamette Valley, and the Willamette University Football Team.
Thank you to all of our volunteers for making the Wallace Marine Park Perimeter Trail build kick off a success!
