Reasons for the Cold Spring Walk n' Wheel Loop were:

• The project created "a pathway to community wellness", by making the CSWWL a new focal point and rally cry for increased physical activity and wellness within the community.
• The project made the environment more supportive of physical activity, and enhance wellness opportunities by removing barriers to physical activity and access by the handicapped.
• The project enabled the entire community to support and promote local environmental education. By incorporating the Cold Spring Creek restoration as rest stops along the CSWWL.
• The project provided the ROCORI Trail the opportunity to access land that is adjacent to the ROCORI Middle School (ROCORI School District), the Cold Spring Senior Center and the Assumption Senior Campus.
• The Cold Spring Walk n' Wheel Loop was completed in the Summer of 2009 through the kind donations of ROCORI area residents, businesses and several grantees. (Review Grantor/Donor List)
