The Valley Center Trails Association (VCTA) is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to connecting the community through the development and maintenance of non-motorized trails and footpaths for recreation and multi-use travel.
Originally founded in 1999 at the request of community residents, the VCTA began as a subcommittee of the Valley Center Community Planning Group. In 2000, after much work and dedication, a trail system plan based primarily on public land, public right-of-way, and voluntary easements was approved by the Planning group and the county's Trail Master Plan. This includes the Heritage Trail along Valley Center Road. Following this success, the VCTA became its own entity, working in conjunction with VC Parks and Recreation District for the Valley Center Community.
After a hiatus, the VCTA reformed in 2007 with the new construction in Valley Center bringing change and a renewed dedication to making a viable trails system a reality for Valley Center and its residents. Connecting the community through a non-motorized, multi-use trail and pathway system would allow a link between schools, public parks, community services and our soon to be "Town Center". With community mult-modal use as well as recreation in mind, the Valley Center Trails Association sees a bright future for our children, families and community. Trails are for everyone, help us connect our community and provide a safe way to get around town and fun avenue to enjoy outdoor pursuits in our beautiful weather and scenery!
