Stepping Up Support of Community Trails

When Margaret Annis Boys entrusted her estate to the Oklahoma CityCommunity Foundation in 1991, she began a crusade to enhance andactivate every inch of our community’s parks and public spaces.

Recently, our Parks & Public Space Initiative planted 40 trees along the east side of Eagle Trail in Edmond, Oklahoma. The trail winds through the campus at Oklahoma Christian University connecting to surrounding neighborhoods and is enjoyed by students and nearby residents alike.

Oklahoma Christian University president John deSteiguer is delighted with how the project turned out, saying it was, “an honor for the Community Foundation to make our park-like campus even more beautiful and usable for the community.”
