LEGACY PARKWAY

Legacy Parkway is a great place to ride a bicycle from the Center Street trailhead.   If you ride south you'll meet up with the Jordan River Parkway.   If you ride North you have a choice of following Legacy to the Lagoon Front Runner Station and Red Barn or going to Ogden on the Denver and Rio Grand Western Rail Trail.    You could do a Legacy and DRG trail loop by taking the Farmington Creek Trail or riding on Burke Lane. 

DIRECTIONS to Center Street Trailhead:  
Google Map "Redwood Road, W. Center Street in North Salt Lake.   Travel west to the Legacy Highway (don't go over the freeway),  you should see the trailhead parking as you travel west.   Turn right on Foxboro Drive, and immediate left to the parking area.
