On March 22, 2011, the Duncan City Council approved the Heritage Trails Pedestrian Walkway Plan. This is currently a conceptual plan designed to link city parks, schools, government facilities, and business centers to a city-wide pedestrian walkway trail route. The plan also links various complexes such as the Simmons Center Recreation Facility, the Chisholm Trail Heritage Center, and Duncan Regional Hospital. The primary goal of the development was for the community, within various partnership coalitions, to work towards the development of a safe pedestrian city-wide walkway route adding an additional quality of life feature to the community.
