Be a part of the Prairie Spirit Trail,
Purchase a Walking Tile

The Santa Fe Depot Walking Tile Project was created in 1997 ago as a monumental way of raising money for improvements along the Prairie Spirit Trail. Proceeds received from walking tiles to date have provided bicycle racks, benches, picnic tables, trash containers, birdhouses and landscape plantings along the trail and at trailheads. Two picnic shelters, such as those outside the Santa Fe Depot in Garnett, have been purchased through this project with the help of a matching grant from the Kansas Department of Wildlife & Parks. These shelters are now located at the trailheads in Richmond and Welda. Two new picnic tables were the most recent purchases for the trailhead in Iola.

The 12-inch square walking tiles of mahogany granite can be purchased with choice of wording for only $40, $55 with logo. The tiles are engraved with gold lettering and have “In Memory Of…” memorials, special messages, names of businesses and organizations, and family names.

Persons interested in purchasing a walking tile are encouraged to view the tiles at the Santa Fe Depot, Main and 7th Avenue. Tile applications can be picked up at the Santa Fe Depot, Garnett City Hall or by downloading a Prairie Spirit Trail Order Form here: www.prairiespirittrail.org/images/trail_shop.pdf.
