Get ready to wine, dine, bike and run at the exciting new development coming soon to The Trailhead in Clearfork. Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price announced the new project, an 11,000-square-foot space set to house a fitness center, full-service bicycle shop, coffee and juice café as well as a rooftop bar overlooking the Trinity River.
"This type of development is a great way to draw more people outside to the fantastic trail system we have in Fort Worth," said the mayor.
The Trailhead, a primary fitness destination in Fort Worth, currently provides cyclists and runners with access to the Trinity Trails system, free programmed fitness classes from yoga to Crossfit, an outdoor climbing wall and food trucks on the weekend.
"We are now taking the original idea one step further," said Paxton Motheral, vice president of Cassco Development. "We are creating an urban oasis for the fitness community that is directly connected to the trail system."
The developer's goal is to create a place for fitness, conversation and community that will attract people from all around Fort Worth and neighboring areas. Construction will begin this fall and the fitness center is slated to open in the spring. Cassco is in talks with local and regional operators but has not yet established partnerships with any vendors for the center.
"We definitely want something that's more of a local flavor," Motheral said.
Designs for the center show large windows and open space with an earthy quality to the cleanly designed building. There will be ample parking and bike racks, making it easy to start or end your ride with a refreshing bottle of juice or wine.
"This is going to be a phenomenal facility," Mayor Price said.
