This is a nice run in the southern part of Fort Wayne, combining the South Wayne Historic District and Foster Park. The pleasant Lutheran Park makes for a good starting point. Create your own route through the pleasant, tree-lined streets of the national historic district, with its older, set-back homes. Make your way south to Foster Park, using the Rivergreenway path south of Bluffton Rd. At Foster Park, there’s a ~2 mile loop path around the perimeter of the golf course. Foster Park is known for its flower gardens!
Add-Ons: Rivergreenway path north or south along the St Marys River.
