Pinellas Trail marks anniversary with social media campaign
November 5, 2020 - The Fred Marquis Pinellas Trail is almost 30 years old, and Pinellas County is celebrating with a special social media campaign. The first five miles of the trail opened on Dec. 5, 1990. Beginning Friday and continuing for 30 consecutive days, until Dec. 5, 2020, the county’s Facebook page will feature photos from locations on the trail. A new photo will be posted every day at 12:05 p.m. and trail enthusiasts will be encouraged to test their knowledge and guess where the photo was taken. At 9 p.m. every day, the location will be revealed. The Pinellas Trail is a linear park that stretches for 54 miles, from St. Petersburg to Tarpon Springs and East Lake, and is used by 250,000 residents and visitors every month. It provides recreation and safe and affordable connectivity to many county amenities and locations.
